The screenplay for this film is based on the writings of a person suffering from the Alzheimer's disease. The story of Mrs. O. is told through a combination of documentary film footage and her own videos from a hand-held digital camera since she records mini instructions for various daily activities, memories, thoughts and commentaries on various events, trying to prevent forgetting them later in the future. Through the individual story of a gradual memory loss, the film represents a metaphor of the memory loss of the whole society which is trying to forget the past events that determined its current status quo // All rights are with the producer FAMU - Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague.
100 Days
Life is going on, people work and have children, out of love or out of lack of other motivation in life. As there is no God, the only certitude is 24 hours open Tesco hypermarket. 40 years ago, Apollo 11 landed on the the surface of the Moon. Next destination is Mars. No human project can go on without a hope of being completed in a reasonable time-limit. Maximal reasonable time-limit is the duration of a human life. What does fit into it? Béla, a retired Hungarian bio-molecular scientist is waiting for death. In the meantime, he has some things to say.

Love Sorry
Marcela wrote a book. It was originally to be about a boy who miraculously survived meningitis, but in the end it’s a love story about him and a girl – who was the director. She returned to the book fifteen years later and made a film about it. It was originally to be about how the media smoothed away the crudeness of a difficult story to an impressionable and simplified news report, but in the end it’s more of a reality show about the director and her mother – Marcela. – Department of documentary film, FAMU – 2nd year (feature etude).
