Screening of the movie „She Came at Night“

Date: 10 April 2024 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM, Venue: Embassy of the Czech Republic in Stockholm, The Pavilion, Villagatan 21

The Embassy of the Czech Republic in Stockholm, in cooperation with the Czech Center Stockholm and the Swedish-Czech-Slovak Association, screened the black comedy 'She Came at Night' by Jan Vejnar and Tomáš Pavlíček on Wednesday, April 10th at 6:00 PM in the Pavilion of our embassy.

The movie, which won two awards at this year's Czech Lions (the award for Best Director and the award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for Simona Peková), tells the story of two thirty-somethings whose peaceful life turns into a nightmare with the arrival of one of their mothers-in-law. The movie balances on the edge of black humor and horror.

"Do mothers and mothers-in-law always tell the truth? Do they mean well for us? And aren't they sometimes the biggest monsters precisely because of that? Jirka and Aneta live together in a comfortable, undisturbed life until the moment when Jirka's mother Valerie appears on their doorstep with a suitcase, an energetic diva who turns their lives upside down and completely dominates the space of their apartment and the minds of its inhabitants. The creeping domestic invasion gains strength, certainties are shaken, and boundaries of privacy are breached. The peaceful life turns into chaos and ends in ruins."

The movie was screened in Czech with English subtitles.
