54 min

1st May 2004. The Czech Republic together with nine other states joins the European Union. Before the midnight of change comes, the young authors find themselves at three places of the country. Vít Janeček is shooting in the capital, Erika Hníková is in Jablunkov, the very east of the country, and Ivana Miloševič in Aš, in the west. Three different creation styles are united in one documentary, capturing social and mental history of a single moment. And on the background of this moment, discovering the different stances of people of different social classes, they are, using many a detail, trying to capture the first fundamental change of the contemporary Czech state. Untraditional conception of the living history captured in transience and discontinuity of impressions tries to go beyond the initial invisibleness of the change, in order to pass on the co–existence of our national self and the world around us. The three different author styles symbolise its incoherent possibilities. Evening with the presence of the film authors. After the screening, the discussion will follow.
the partner of the evening is IDFF Jihlava
