Mallory

Society/Biography, Czechia 2015

Many drug-addicted mothers are determined to give up drugs when their child is born, but few manage to do so. Mallory managed to restart her life because of little Kryštof, even though she “didn’t expect it to be so hard.” Over the course of thirteen years, she has been in several bad relationships, lived in a broken-down car for half a year, put her son in an institution for a period of time, and tried in vain to secure affordable housing at the municipal authorities. Thanks to her inner strength and determination, she was able to reverse her fate in the end. The time-lapse film by director Helena Třeštíková, awarded at the IFF in Karlovy Vary, presents a life story that leads to the light at the end of the tunnel.
