Suppressed

Czech Republic | 2023 | 107′ | DOP: Anna Smoroňová | director: Tomáš Mašín

Some events enter our lives uninvited. And that is precisely what happens to veterinarian Martin (Marián Mitaš) and his wife Erika (Jana Plodková), whose lives are turned upside down in a single moment. A moment that reveals the scars on the apparent family’s idyllic life and draws an ambiguous line between good and selfish intentions. Moreover, Martin’s accident is not only severe but also suspicious, and so the suspiciousness of the police adds to the family’s troubles. Built around the investigation of the case, the crime gradually escalates into a psychological drama about relationships, the trauma within them, and lies. How was it all? How will it end? And what scars will it leave on the family?
