SK 2025, Diana Fabianova, 82 min

Tomas and Diana, children of post-socialist Czechoslovakia, live under one roof with their parents and children, three generations shaped by the legacies of patriarchy, totalitarianism, and the quiet persistence of alcoholism. Amid a culture where infidelity is almost expected, they try to carve out something radically different: a relationship rooted in honesty, equality, and emotional clarity.

But the past lives in the body. And in the small rituals of daily life, it speaks.

As their relationship unravels and rebuilds, they begin to examine the emotional inheritance they carry, not just as children of infidelity, but as a couple. Through her, a quieter transformation unfolds: one of gradual self-recognition, late courage, and the cost of truth.

The family home becomes a living character absorbing conflict, holding generations together, echoing trauma, but also offering space for reimagining love. Its walls are witnesses, its atmosphere part of the emotional architecture of the film.

Threaded with intimate conversations, radical honesty, and uncomfortable revelations, the documentary traces the subtle and seismic shifts in one family's inner life.

This is not a story of resolution, but of effort, the fragile, often messy attempt to do things differently. To unlearn inherited pain. To rebel gently. To offer something freer to the next generation, even when they might not understand.

This film is a meditation on love as work: imperfect, ongoing, but fiercely worth it.
