Synopsis

In spring 1981, Perla, an impulsive painter, must return to communist Czechoslovakia to settle an old debt. She fled the country many years ago and is unwelcome on both sides of the curtain. Perla embarks on a risky journey to uncover the secrets of her past, which she had kept locked away. This film portrays a life-affirming, strong-willed woman and mother who strives to live life on her own terms, despite the losses she has endured.
