Open Call

A bittersweet summer story about the emotional isolation of two young friends in the closed world of a boarding school in a small spa town. A long-awaited agency arrives in town looking for new faces in the modeling world. A dubious casting call begins, one of the last opportunities to escape the boredom of everyday life. Lenka is determined to get her way, but her plans to break through with her beauty cannot be thwarted by her friend Anička, who no longer wants to stay in Lenka's shadow, her distrustful boyfriend Petr, or the manic-depressive photographer Dan and his assistant Filip. A big game is unfolding in a small space where childhood dreams mix with adult whimsy and hidden desires with hidden hatreds.
