Life Behind the Door

Marta Machová / Czech Republic / 2024 / 8 min.


synopsis

This short documentary film features several (extra)ordinary residents of a nursing home. The author captures selected moments from their lives, their feelings and memories, without the need to evaluate, judge, or evoke pity in the viewer.

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.

I have been working in social services for more than 20 years, caring for the elderly, people suffering from dementia, and communicating with family caregivers. As part of my job, I have the opportunity to visit nursing homes throughout the country.
