In a series of vignettes, a young woman ponders her role in life as she navigates expectations, barriers, and challenges with her loved ones.

Moments

They forbid her love, she gifts them with hate. They take her freedom, she makes them feel prison. They claim her life, she orders their death. A drama from the times when women were still almost lawless property in the hands of their men and when the right to love and freedom sometimes had to be redeemed by murder. The period story about love and killing was loosely based on the story of Nikolaj Leskov and is inspired by a real criminal case. The fine line between criminal and victim is explored in the performance of "Lady Macbeth from Újezd" by the actors of the Svanda Theater in Smíchov on their home stage.
