At the end of the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, we interviewed Anna Wowra, who told us about her filmStuck Togetherin the FUTURE FRAMES –Generation NEXT of European Cinema section. Inspired in part by the director’s adolescence but also by a news story, Stuck Together tells of the friendship between three teenage girls stuck in a small provincial town, between hopes of escaping, mutual confidences and envy. Anna talks enthusiastically about Future Frames, her experience dealing with other filmmakers during the festival and her future projects.
Another dreary day in a small town. Viki, Sára, and Kiki, three inseparable friends since childhood, are planning to spend their free afternoon the same way they always do: vodka, cigarettes, talking about everything and nothing. But their group dynamic is different today, more explosive: one of them has reached the second round in a casting call for a modeling job, thus raising her chances of leaving this place of dashed hopes and dreams. Her friends might be willing to support her, if only their anger, sadness, and envy weren’t so powerful… A relentless but non-judgmental look at growing up without any prospects of a brighter future.
