To commemorate Czech National Day on 28 Oct, three heartrending films of human struggle and survival from the Slovak and the Czech Republic will return to the Arts House. Made in Ash (12 & 29 Oct) tells of a young Slovak’s girl unwanted progression from a textile factory novice to sex worker; Flower Buds (12 & 30 Oct) portrays a family’s everyday struggle to survive in a small province; Innocence (13 & 31 Oct) blurs the boundaries between truth and morality when a renowned physician with a perfect family sees his idyllic life descend into chaos when a scandal hits.
