Katka / Krimifest

(Katka / Krimifest), Helena Třeštíková / CZ, 2009
Czech version , 90 min

Film Katka presented to mark the beginning of the festival Krimifest Chodov 2011, in the presence of film director Helena Třeštílková, entrance free by courtesy of Sherlog. We are looking forward to seeing not only fans of good films but also of crime prevention....

Observed for over a decade (13 years), this documentary follows Katka, Lada and Roman through their world of drugs, prison, love and responsibility. They live on the streets in Prague, hustling for drugs, stealing, attempting murder. Lada ends up in prison. Katka ends up expecting a child. Will she manage to overcome this most difficult battle of her life?

This is not a film about drug abuse, but a film about the replenishing power of life, about values and their price, about mothers and their relationship with their children.
