Venuše ve Švehlovce / in Czech with English subtitles / 55 min

The death of a child of any age brings heartbreak and personal devastation. It might also cause life trauma. Grief is not a problem to be cured by medicine. It is an experience to be supported, witnessed and shared. The project was created to support bereaved parents on their long journey and it was also the need of the author herself to open a discussion about a social taboo topic. Parents very often experience feelings of uprooting and loneliness and also others look at them nervously, which deepens the gap between them and society even more.
