Five short films — six reasons for joy. A program of charming fiction and documentary student films from the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava (VŠMU), created over the past decade, bringing playfulness, surprising twists, and unexpected endings woven with subversive humor. From comedy to mockumentary, from the troubles of an online romance to a quest for the essential quality of the tastiest open-faced sandwiches in the country. These and more serious topics are approached with perspective, using seemingly banal plots to reveal the depths of human character. To the joy of creation, another joy is added — that someone is willing to observe the world around us uncompromisingly, yet kindly.
