CARAVAN Czechia-Slovakia-Italy, 2025, 100 min, color

Ester’s just turned 45 and has nothing in her life except caring for her severely mentally disabled son, David. David can’t speak and needs constant attention. Ester loves him deeply, but she’s drained by routine and coping alone. 

Friends in Italy invite her for a visit, but they find David’s unpredictable behaviour causes problems. They ask them to stay in a caravan in the garden. For Ester, it’s the final straw. She doesn’t want to feel like a burden anymore.
