Two Syllables Behind

(O dve slabiky pozadu)
Katarína Šulajová / SR - ČR, 2004
Slovak-Hungarian-Czech-English-French-Chinese version / Slovak subtitles, 84 min

Story of Zuza, a student of Art History, and her roaming between relationships, people, reality and fiction, and above all, a story about her struggle to find herself in the middle of all that confusion. The film is a mosaic of real and dreamlike situations in which Zuza gets confused in her effort to obtain from life as much as she can in the shortest time possible. Zuza is independent, financially secure, popular, but in spite of all that she just tramps in her life from one place to another, from one person to the next one. She has neither permanent relationships, nor strong family ties and security that would bring a bit of order into her chaotic existence.
