Are you looking for reassurance that your beloved is The One, that your partner is truly for life? Then visit the Love Institute, a scientific organization that will test the mutual compatibility of people who have decided to embark on life’s journey together. It is here of all places that the incurable romantic Anna finds a job, temporarily mentored by the thoughtful and sympathetic Amir. The tender and idiosyncratic romance co-produced by Cate Blanchett, the talented Christos Nikou’s sophomore outing (his debut Apples instantly made him one of the most sought-after directors today) features disarming performances by Jesse Buckley and Riz Ahmed.
“After being in the jury of Karlovy Vary Film Festival in 2021 and having the chance to present my first feature Apples to the Czech audience, I am so excited and grateful to return to a festival and a city that feel like home. I would like to thank Karel Och and Krystof Mucha for honouring us as the closing film of the festival and giving me the opportunity to share with the audience my English debut Fingernails.”
