About the Film: She Came at Night | Přišla v noci
Directed by Jan Vejnar and Tomáš Pavlíček, 2023, 85 min., in Czech with English subtitles
A young couple, Jirka and Aneta, are enjoying the routine of their quiet relationship … when one night everything changes. The doorbell rings, and on their doorsteps awaits Jirka’s mother Valerie, a glamorous and energetic woman in her sixties. An initially short visit turns into a never-ending stay. Slowly, Valerie takes over—not just the apartment, but their lives. As her presence grows more intrusive, their once-peaceful world unravels. Are mothers and mothers-in-law always right? Do they mean well, or are they the most dangerous monsters of all?
