A Certain Kind of Silence
Michal Hogenauer : 2019
Tiché doteky
Mia goes to live with a family as their au pair. She knows she'll be looking after a 10-year-old boy, but that is all. Yet her very first meeting with the family suggests that she is expected to do rather more than this. She has to pay the price for a life of high financial and intellectual reward by following a set of strict rules: breaking any of them would lead to her immediate dismissal and a ticket back home. However, it would also mean abandoning a child she is trying to reach out to, and losing her self-respect. An examination of the strength of an individual's resilience to manipulation and the extent to which people are willing to make sacrifices in order to preserve their self-esteem. Michal Hogenauer's feature debut premiered in competition in the East of the West section at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2019.
