"This film is about troubles and desires of two half-sisters. The psychologist Naďa and the actress Elena desire closeness and fellowship with each other. It's a narcissistic relationship. I've always been interested in that which is hidden, that which connects and divides humans. On a different note, this film also speaks about private lives in the totalitarian society. The writer Martin fights for his identity and the right to live and work in such a way that will bring him satisfaction. But that is a common topic in all of our stories." (Dušan Hanák) The author once again focuses on motherhood as the basic axis of womanhood: while Elena bears a child at a later age, Naďa is going through a crisis following a surgery which deprives her of the possibility to have children. At the same time, it is about meeting and passing by of three different personalities, three vain attempts at happiness. (MFFK Febiofest)
