World premiere
Nobody Likes Me
Lonely and explicit struggle for physical love without regrets, prejudices or instructions.
The daring Czech duo from the acclaimed debut “I, Olga Hepnarová” are back to explore the challenges of love with a significant role entrusted to a foreign actor. It remains a mystery how Petr and Tomás discovered Lithuanian musician and singer Mantas Zemleckas ("Songs for a Fox", PÖFF 2022).
This story is about Sara. A woman of strict orders, hidden desires and sublime loneliness, she works as a secretary at the army headquarters. One evening, Sara notices a handsome man to whom she is immediately attracted. Martin isn’t a soldier, but he watches her restlessly, follows her, stalks her. They can’t resist each other, even though they’re not meant to be together.
Sara asks the commander for permission to go on a mission, to take her life into her hands. She tempts and persuades the kind and shy wanderer. Although Martin doesn't want to hurt her feelings, he's not ready to change.
