Hot Flush

Directed by Hana Hančinová

With Alena Antalová, Ladislav Bédi, Ján Jackuliak, Ági Gubík and Viktória Jurištová

Elena, a social curator, is entering a new phase of her life as she approaches climacterium. As if it weren’t enough, Erik, a troubled teenager abandoned by his mother, who she mentors, misinterprets some of her gestures and initiates an unexpected sexual encounter in the office toilets. This moment throws them into existential crises, where they both find out their own inappropriate ways to cope. Will Elena pretend nothing happened, or will she finally face the world on her own terms?
