À l'est de moi
Overview
The film is a documentary film juxtaposing two distinct narrative threads. The first explore the history of a Czech girl who emigrates to France at the age of seventeen - a girl so hungry for freedom that she abandons family, boyfriend, homeland, culture...The other thead takes us on a circuitous route through the Eastern Europe of today. Past and present combine to unravel the web of illusion and disillusionment. The girl's private story provides a means by which these are revealed as, in parallel, we explore the living conditions of today's Eastern Europeans.
