It's a powerful story about a woman who would do anything to win back the love of a person she hurt the most - her son. Eva is an abstaining alcoholic and a famous but retired actress. Now she wants to return to her old life. Strong emotions and powerful performances feature in Marko Škop's first non-documentary film. "It's an honour for the whole crew that participated in the film's creation", saidMarko Škop when receiving the award, thanking its lead actors.
