SCREENINGS
The true story of Czech writer Simona Monyová (Tereza Ramba), author of novels such as Mother-in-law and Smoked Meat and Diary of an Emotional Blackmailer. How much pain was hidden behind her romantic fantasies? How easy is it to fall into a toxic relationship, and how hard is it to escape? This six-part miniseries was directed by Zuzana Kirchnerová, who recently celebrated success with her feature debut, Caravan, screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. At Finále Plzeň, the first episode will be presented in an exclusive pre-premiere.
