Blanka is a woman in her 50s, alone in her apartment and in her life. Matuš, a young and motivated activist, hopes to become a councillor of his municipality despite his lack of marketing savvy. A cool real estate agent sells the notion of a happy life through Bratislava apartments. Two collegial road workers paint road markings and when their shift is over, they drink beer in their boarding room and ponder the indifference of the city inhabitants. Danko, a queer music composer, lives in the city centre with his mother in a modest flat. He takes long walks, listening to urban sounds, trying to capture the rhythm around him. Lines is a visual essay, a tangle of stories and observations, set in the exemplary post-socialist city of Bratislava, a place experiencing dynamic transformation.
Cinematography
UNDER MY SPELL is a film that presents the musical works of composer Oskar Rózsa - the cantata Under my spell, written for soprano Adriana Kučerová. The film is thematically based on texts by Petr Kollár, which deal in a broader context with freedom, the human soul and the society in which we live.
