PODCAST | Matt Micucci interviews Iveta Grófová, director of the film Little Harbour.

Iveta Grófová presented her feature Little Harbour in the strand of the 52nd Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. Her film talks about neglected children. But in this interview, Grófová underlines that the situations portrayed in her movie are ones that may be experienced in any average family at all. In this interview, we touch base on many elements, including whether or not she set off with the concept of making a poetic film, what it was like for her not only to tell a story where the protagonists are young children but also what it was like to work with child actors, and whether of not it is right to see Little Harbour as, ultimately, a film that, despite everything, has its fair share of optimism.

Little Harbour: under somewhat unusual circumstances, ten-year-old Jarka finds herself a new family when she starts taking care of two abandoned babies. She enlists the help of Kristián, a boy of similar age, to help her prepare baby food in a dirty garden shed. In this poetic film, the children are thus finally able to create the home they never had themselves. But how long will this idyll last?
