Bestiarium

Based on Bára Nesvadbová’s novel of the same name, Bestiar is the story of a young student, Karolína, and her intense relationship with Alex, a man who, despite coming across as successful and stable, proves to be emotionally torn inside. Karolína’s relationship with him, replete with erratic uncertainties and dramatic ups and downs, exhausts her. She wants to extricate herself from her emotional dependency, to be the one who sets the tone. With the men she meets, Karolína attempts to discover if she can be the one who is in control. Each new relationship and experience, no matter how fleeting, has a profound impact on Karolína, who realizes that she will only be strong when she has found peace with herself.
