About this Event
About the movie:
It’s the early 1990s and 13-year-old Karolína, a gifted novice singer, is given the chance to become a member of a world-famous girls’ choir, taking her place alongside her older sister and her other rivals in the ensemble. Everything points to the fact that Karolína’s exceptional talent has caught the attention of the formidable and much admired choirmaster. This highly anticipated psychological drama calls to mind not only the notorious case of Bambini di Praga, but also other devastating situations involving the clash of innocence and abusive authority. In a work entirely free of sensationalism, Provazník demonstrates focused humility and extraordinary sensitivity towards his fledgling actors as he depicts an exclusive world, in which desirable prestige goes hand in hand with premature coming of age.
The movie screening is part of the East by Southeast Film Festival, which presents the best brand new fiction and documentary films from as many countries in Central and Eastern Europe. The purpose of the festival is not least to give a Danish audience the opportunity to become acquainted with the culture and rich film production in our European ‘neighboring countries’.
