Synopsis

The physical body as the fabric and projection screen for inner experiences, recollections and decisions – this is the leitmotif of the actions and films of Lucie Marešová. Several contrasting routes are followed to generate a process of both external and internal cleansing in this somehow profoundly feminine film. The film is presented as part of the series Loyal Guard: New Czech Videoart.
