Synopsis and Context
Pohádky po babičce (Tales After Grandma, 2025) is a Czech film that explores grief through the eyes of three siblings. After their grandmother’s death—she who used to tell them stories—the youngest, Suzanne, begins inventing tales to keep her memory alive. Directed by Vojtěch Kiss, the film blends fantasy and emotion to tackle themes like family, memory, and resilience. It was awarded at the Giffoni Film Festival (Italy) with the Tales from the Magic Garden prize and stands out for its collaborative approach, featuring contributions from directors in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Belgium.
