Break free before you are broken.
Klára lives in a closed community of Women who work a deserted wheat field with a huge silo standing in the middle of it. Each Woman has her own Crow that has to be fed the crop collected each day. Crows grow in size and strength. The bigger they are, the more power they hold over Women. Ultimately, the Crows absorb them. Klára’s Crow grows in size and strength, too. But Klára wants to live. She realises the only way to survive is to lovingly accept her Crow.
Director’s statement
For many of us, traumas are part of our everyday reality. They present an obstacle to normal functioning and impact our behaviour. The pain inside is often invisible from the outside, which is why we decided to talk about it openly and depict it as a live and inseparable component of ourselves. This pain needs to be accepted and treated with love.
