synopsis

"When he’s hungry, thirsty, or crying, I’m here. We’re together 24/7, and I’m everything to him. It’s exhausting. Who can I tell without hearing, "You wanted a child, so take care of it?" And what about my partner? I think I’m having a motherhood crisis." – Lenka Čápová

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

biography

Motherhood has given me a new perspective on life, opened new horizons, and brought fresh inspiration. I couldn’t imagine creating while caring for my son, but then I started seeing the camera as part of our home and I discovered a new dimension of art in everyday life.
