The Mountain of First Steps

Stela Joudal / Czech Republic / 2024 / 10 min.

synopsis

An unreproducible space-time allows for a conversation we tried to pretend doesn’t exist. Two years later, we travel from the pond called Murder over the Hill to Paradise Pond. Why are we talking about this only now? This intimate film about a mother and her daughter is both unique and universal.

This film was made during the 2024 My Street Films workshop under the guidance of Tereza Reichová and Jan Sacher.

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