Eliška (Eliška Křenková) meets Martin (Martin Kyšperský) at a birthday party and then invites him to one of her lectures. They clearly hit it off right from the start and, with Brno serving primarily as a backdrop, their romantic adventure begins to gather momentum… A lyrical film which prompts us to consider whether we can really know and understand another human being, and whether love itself is enough.

Synopsis

Psychologist Eliška meets Martin, a musician, at a birthday party and then invites him to one of her lectures. They clearly hit it off right from the start and, with Brno serving primarily as a backdrop, their romantic adventure begins to gather momentum… As manifested in his debut, the road documentary Amerika, director Jan Foukal again demonstrates a rare gift for capturing seemingly elusive feelings, fleeting moments of harmony, true happiness and understanding. Actress Eliška Křenková and musician Martin Kyšperský create the central roles with delicacy and fragile spontaneity in a lyrical film which prompts us to consider whether we can really know and understand another human being, and whether love itself is enough.
