An Unlikely Romance



Ivan Vojnár : 2013
Nepravděpodobná romance

Two young women, Luisa and Erika, have only had bad experiences with men, but they still tend to bear all the guilt themselves and are unable to break free of the power men hold over them. Indeed, their inability to goad themselves into action might very well lead to tragedy. What has to happen in order for them to change their lives for the better? And isn't it too late? This non-linear account of the relationship between an aspiring actress, her husband and her new friend intersects an important narrative line relating to Luisa's psychiatric therapy, which also incorporates a storyline involving her doctor's infatuation with his young female patient. Juggling real events with fiction, a tale about relationships which bring not only exhilaration, but also destruction. Its ambiguity is heightened by the heroine's unreliable narration, which relativises the film's plot. Ivan Vojnár's fourth feature screened at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2014.
