Synopsis

This documentary portrait of Radůza allows us a glimpse of the professional and private life of one of the most distinctive artists on the Czech music scene. Singer Zuzana Navarová had a fundamental influence on the young talented singer-songwriter, who encouraged Radůza to study at the Conservatoire. Since Radůza was unable to find any band with whom she could identify, she has always performed on her own. Her intrinsic need for absolute freedom is also projected into her private life. Olga Špátová’s intimate film is interwoven with a series of excerpts taken from Radůza’s concerts throughout her career, along with frank interviews explaining her life philosophy.
