synopsis

When hitchhiking, you never know what’s going to happen. You just stand there with a sign, a clear goal and wait for opportunities – or cars – to pull up. Maybe they’ll give you a short lift or take you somewhere completely different – and that’s all good. I wish I could see that in my normal life.

This film was made during the 2024 My Street Films workshop under the guidance of Marika Pecháčková and Ivo Bystřičan.

This film will be featured in the online edition of Ji.hlava IDFF.

biography

My favorite things are dogs and the pierogi my grandmother used to make. I also love documenting the world around me – mostly through audio and photos. I’m studying for a master’s degree at the Faculty of Social Sciences, and I work at Radio Wave and Vltava. And this year I grew two zucchinis.
