Pusinky (Dolls)

“Our film is about the search for love; there are lots of ‘open’ scenes and some sex scenes as well. But these are things and attitudes that belong to the age category of the protagonists of the film: teenagers… the film is actually about the confrontation of someone’s previous naïve view of the world with the real observation of life.” Karin Babinská

Three 18-year-old school friends, Iska, Vendula and Karolína, decide to embark on a road trip to Holland following their graduation, with Iska’s younger brother, Votja, inadvertently tagging along for the ride.

Each with their own distinct personalities and goals, the girls’ summer is a rights-of-passage, with Votja as the witness to the adventures, dramas and sexual escapades of these girls on the cusp of adulthood.
