Among the selections found in this year’s Cannes Film Festival Un Certain Regard line-up we find “Caravan,” Czech filmmaker Zuzana Kirchnerová‘s feature debut. The road trip movie about a mother (actress Aňa Geislerová) and her disabled is said to explore themes of maternal guilt, motherhood and rebellion. Kirchnerová previously won the Cinéfondation Prize at Cannes in 2009 for her short “Bába,” and finally makes her return. We have the poster exclusive below:
Ester, 45, has devoted her life to caring for her son David, who has Down syndrome and autism. Their bond is fierce—but so is her exhaustion. While visiting friends in Italy, tensions rise—David’s behaviour unsettles the household, and they’re asked to sleep in a caravan. That night, Ester takes off. In the old camper winding through southern Italy, Ester dares to want more from life. But David begins to change too—gradually opening up to the world, and to Zuza, a vibrant drifter who becomes their companion. Together, the trio discovers a fragile joy, a new rhythm, and the possibility of freedom.
