Growing up in totalitarian Czechoslovakia, orphaned Emma endures foster care, juvenile detention, and the turmoil of the Velvet Revolution. To survive the fear, loneliness, and dislocation, she invents another self to talk to—and clings to a dream of America, where her father awaits. Blending raw realism with surreal imagery, director Viktor Tauš crafts a poetic, emotionally charged journey of resilience and hope. Girl America is not just a story of survival, but a celebration of the unyielding spirit that refuses to be broken. An exceptional film in the Czech auteur cinema.
Viktor Tauš, Czech Republic, 2024, 108‘ Cast: Pavla Beretová, Julie Šoucová, Klára Kitto, Lucie Žáčková, Klára Melíšková, Tomas Sean Pšenička
