Absence of Closeness



Josef Tuka : 2017
Absence blízkosti

Hedvika doesn't have much luck with the men in her life, and when her latest affair with a married man comes to grief she takes her three-month-old daughter Adélka and her dog to live with her mother and boyfriend in a posh country villa. The young woman's relationship with her distant mother isn't ideal, and she also senses her own maternal feelings for Adélka are still somewhat lacking. One day she chances upon some diaries in her mother's house that her late father had written to her when she was a child. Reading the diaries and visiting the places she used to know as a child, conjuring up faint memories and contemplating decisions made long ago – and their consequences – effect a change in her. Josef Tuka's feature debut premiered in competition in the East of the West section at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2017.
