We Are Never Alone

A village in the Czech countryside, a few houses wedged between a prison and a brothel. The stage is set. Petr Vaclav illustrates a portrait of characters living on the margin: a paranoid prison guard, a hypochondriac neighbor watching the saleswoman of the single store falling in love with the local pimp himself in love with a prostitute… The atmosphere of the film seems tragic but in fact the dark humor sets the real tone in this social fable about a disoriented society. A remarkable and original film that is both challenging and disturbing.
