The Embassy of the Czech Republic in Copenhagen proudly hosted a screening of a brand new Czech movie: "Broken Voices" (2025), directed by Ondřej Provazník.
The screening took place as a part of EAST BY SOUTH EAST film festival, on November 19, 2025 from 6.30 p.m. at Cinemateket, Gothersgade 55, 1123 Copenhagen, and was followed by a discussion with the director, Ondřej Provazník, who was personally present on the stage too! The event was traditionally followed by a small reception.
About the movie:
It’s the early 1990s and 13-year-old Karolína, a gifted novice singer, is given the chance to become a member of a world-famous girls’ choir, taking her place alongside her older sister and her other rivals in the ensemble. Everything points to the fact that Karolína’s exceptional talent has caught the attention of the formidable and much admired choirmaster. This highly anticipated psychological drama calls to mind not only the notorious case of Bambini di Praga, but also other devastating situations involving the clash of innoence and abusive authority. In a work entirely free of sensationalism, Provazník demonstrates focused humility and extraordinary sensitivity towards his fledgling actors as he depicts an exclusive world, in which desirable prestige goes hand in hand with premature coming of age. // TRAILER
