It’s personal. A young girl’s story about sexuality, confidence, and her body within society since her teenage years. Collages of magazine cutouts and diary entries lead into an event that actually started much earlier, and the time after, when it seems nothing matters anymore. Why is it that others own the gaze turned upon our bodies, and “one tragic night” is not a single event, but a culture?

A meditation in animation technique on the consequences of sexual violence and objectification since childhood. The Czech director Motýlová courageously shares a fragmented chronicle of memories about her experience and the untold. In her own words, “the scenes are coloured in” by sexual violence victims by sharing their stories, but the film’s structure is porous, as is coming of age. Occasionally abrupt, from time to time interrupted, but sometimes also involuntarily endless.

Jury statement: Masterfully and sensitively crafted and narrated personal tragedy, putting a spotlight onto the topic of the rule of consent, which should long be the accepted standard, especially in intimate relationships, and not subjected to relativization.
