Lorsqu'un villageois est blessé par une voiture lors d'une fête, le pompier Brona est immédiatement convaincu qu'il s'agit d'une attaque perpétrée par un "arabe". Son collègue Standa voit les choses différemment.

In “white torture”, prisoners are locked in a cell in which everything is white: the walls, the floor, the ceiling, even the clothes and the food. This causes the prisoners to gradually lose their visual memory. WHITE ROOM is a half-fictional, half-documentary approach to the testimony of a former prisoner.

In this mockumentary, the European Space Agency forms a team of scientists to craft a message to send to alien civilizations. As they work to compile a comprehensive report on humanity, the team is faced with unexpected challenges, including debates on what should be said and how it should be expressed.

Riky, a club bouncer who recently broke up with his girlfriend, has another shift ahead of him “working the door”. While it’s just a Tuesday, this is no ordinary night – it’s Valentine’s Day, a night when nobody wants to be alone. Riky is happy to be spending the evening in the company of his co-workers Modřín and Mates, and they’ve got their hands full. Underaged kids want to get in, drunks don’t want to get out, and everyone keeps losing their cloakroom tickets. In the middle of all of this, Riky’s ex shows up, and she isn’t alone.

Ida is cleaning out the house that her grandfather, an artist, used to live in. She wades through a studio overflowing with artefacts, oddities and lost history. Similarly to S P A C E S, Štrbová treats the theme of memory and loss, combining fiction and documentary, letting the images of nostalgic childhood and the suffocating past flow associatively. To the sound of Francesco Geminiani's Concerto grosso no. 12, subtitled Madness, the fragile physicality of both dead and living relics stands out. The head of a dead parrot, a cast of her grandmother's breasts or a moss-covered real estate agent represent the discoveries of a personal archaeological site and exhibits of an introspective museum of family history.
