In this contemporary and stylish metropolitan drama, Jana Plodková leads an excellent cast as film editor Milena, who is in love with translator Vladimír (Martin Myšička), but who finds their regular communication through SMS to come a poor second, in terms of real intimacy and affection, to good old-fashioned human contact.
Milena is alone, but not alone. Everyone, in fact, in her 30- and 40-something urban professional circles seem to be afflicted by a similar malaise, an existential angst connected to an obsession with love, with art, with success and money, and with issues of identity, originality and authenticity.
Delight was selected for competition in the “East of the West” program strand at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival this year.
