An orphanage under communism. Foster parents. Juvenile detention. Then–the Velvet Revolution and the freedom you can't handle. You fall a hundred times. You get back up on your feet... A vivid and boldly experimental interpretation of the true story of a woman going through a traumatic childhood marked by abandonment and institutionalisation in totalitarian Czechoslovakia.
« Vivid and magical and fuelled by urgent pain, Girl America is a mesmerising cinematic confection which … deserves to be seen much more widely. » (Eye for Film)
« Rather than focusing on a straightforward retelling, Tauš prioritises an immersive, mythical and poetic spectacle infused with an implicit social critique, making Girl America. a most visually distinct modern Czech film. » (Cineuropa)
