Czech Cinema Night: AMERIKÁNKA (aka “Girl America”)

The film is inspired by true events and delves into the life of Ema Černá, a young girl navigating the challenges of growing up in institutional care during the late 20th century in Czechoslovakia. 

The director aims to present a stylized and unconventional narrative that captures the essence of Ema's experiences. By focusing on her internal world and the creation of an imaginary friend, the film explores themes of self-reliance and the power of hope amidst adversity. 

Tauš's direction seeks to immerse the audience in Ema's perspective, offering a poignant look at the resilience of the human spirit.
