Já, Olga Hepnarová

Mar 24 2017 Not Rated 1h 45m
Biography, Crime, Drama

Olga is a complex young woman desperate to break free from her unfeeling family and social conventions. With her Louise Brooks-like tomboyish looks she drags herself, chain-smoking, from one job to another until she appears to find her niche as a truck driver. Although she has female lovers she does not form a bond with any of them; instead she clashes, time and again, venting herself in wordless emotional outbursts and other behavioural extremes.

Plot

Alienated, bullied, and raised in a strict family environment in Prague, the timid by nature and troubled child without any friends, Olga Hepnarová, nurtures a raging hatred towards an indifferent and faceless society. However, under those circumstances, pretty soon, Olga will find herself trapped in the middle of a war she can't win, utterly defeated by the same element she's been trying to avoid: its people. Now, more and more, Olga feels rejected by everyone--and as a silent but meticulously prepared plot becomes her only means of retribution--her odious circle, her apathetic family, and the rest of the world are not safe. Will she ever find peace of mind?
