Gilda Pourjabar
Stuck in a creative rut, filmmaker Gilda Pourjabar returns to Iran, her homeland, to talk with her brother Siamak, an illustrator based in Tehran.

Together, they examine how art slips through the cracks of repression to light the rebellious sparks in the hearts of young people.

Maja Penčič
A film driven by the chaotic energy of Prague streets. Comprising several direct survey probes, they collectively present a picture of societal apathy and the values of contemporary Czech youth. In addition to the author herself, this is represented by more or less sober young people who unashamedly confide in the camera their attitudes towards the climate crisis, feminism or the war in Ukraine. But they also talk about the meaning of life, the secret of good sex or love, the search for which (and not finding) is one of the central themes of the film.
