At Full Throttle

Czech Republic, Slovakia2021documentary85'Międzynarodowy konkurs filmów dokumentalnych (2022)

Jaroslav seems to be an antihero: he did not fulfil his dream of becoming a racing driver, he failed in his marriage and fatherhood, he is lost in his worldview choices, he achieved no financial success and he still lives with his mother at the age of almost 50. In front of the camera, he becomes the hero of our times – funny and tragic at the same time, led astray by various, sometimes populist, forces. Nevertheless, now and again, he goes at full throttle against everything and everyone, supported by his beloved Jitka, and tries to make his dreams come true.
