Changes
Four people who have nothing in common. The wife of a successful man who lacks only one thing to be happy – a child. She is willing to do almost anything to have one. A sports coach who has devoted his life to athletics is now past his prime and has time to realize everything he has missed. An old woman lives alone in a large empty house, without human contact, which she seeks in higher spheres. And finally, a young mother with two children. Her small salary and harsh life do not play into her favor. She struggles and fights, but perhaps the moment will come when she gives up everything. The visually captivating film Proměny follows four different characters whose lives intertwine only slowly and randomly. The individual fates and the plot culminate, and the film's bold concept inevitably leads to a final clash. What must happen for life to be different than before?

Mamas & Papas
The four stories in the film form a mosaic of the fates of several married or partner couples who, at a certain turning point in their lives, are dealing with issues of wanted, unwanted, desired, or thwarted parenthood. The intention of screenwriter and director Alice Nellis is to use the parallel narration of several stories to show that the problem of modern parenthood is broader and deeper than the specific situation of any individual character. The number one domestic director once again comes up with a story that can touch viewers regardless of age or status. Each of the stories told about the desire for a child, the fateful decision of whether to have a child or not, or the effort to cope with the pitfalls that life has placed before us, could be your own.
