My Sunny Maad

Director: Michaela Pavlátová
CZ, FR, SK | 2021 | 80 min. | animation

When Herra, a Czech woman, falls in love with Nazir, an Afghan, she has no idea about the life that awaits her in the post-Taliban Afghanistan, nor about the family she is about to join. A grandfather who is a feminist, an adopted young boy who astounds everyone with his intellect, and Freshta who will do anything to escape from her abusive husband. Like the other women in the family, Herra wears a burka and hides in a closet when guests arrive. She soon starts a new job with an American woman, Heidi, who has little comprehension of the way women live in Afghanistan, and still less that not everybody wants to be saved by Westerners.

Even Mice Belong in Heaven

Directors: Denisa Grimmová, Jan Bubeníček
CZ, FR, PL, SK | 2021 | 87 min. | animation

A story about two outsiders, who, by combining their very different personalities and ways of thinking, are able to overcome tremendous obstacles. After an unfortunate accident, two mortal enemies – a tiny Mouse and a Fox – meet in animal heaven. They abandon their natural instincts and become the best of friends. Their wish to stay together after they return to earth comes true, but they are reborn into opposite roles. Thanks to the power of friendship, they can overcome what appears to be impossible. A film about hope, the quest for love and courage, and about overcoming prejudices and old pains.
