The House (Dom) (Slovakia/Czech Republic, 2011)

"Sensitively observed, intelligently made realist drama is remarkable for its depth of characterization." — Variety

Directed by Zuzana Liová

Anxious to escape her small town, ambitious teen Eva saves money to become an au pair in London, while her taciturn father stubbornly builds a house for her on the family property. An intimate, carefully observed drama of generational conflict in which the weight of unspoken expectations, unmet desires and family grudges surfaces when Eva's older sister returns home with her ne'er-do-well husband.
