Ten-year-old Jarka’s world is one of chaos and unruliness. The young girl lives in a Bratislava apartment block, where no-one really takes any interest in her, and her mother prefers hanging out with friends. Jarka is thus deprived of the emotional contact and affection she needs. When her mum leaves to spend a few days in Prague, Jarka chances upon two abandoned babies. Together with Kristián, a boy of similar age, she takes them in a pram to a secluded allotment site and starts looking after them… In Iveta Grófová’s poetic film two children become the parents they themselves never had. Their clumsy yet conscientious guardianship of two screaming infants is naturally condemned to failure in the real world; nevertheless, Grófová tells her story through the eyes of child protagonists who defy the insensitive logic of adults. Denisa Buranová’s camera creates the kind of fantasy world where we have all taken refuge at some point in our lives. KVIFF
