Family Film (Rodinný film)


Watch Trailer

This comedy is an unpredictable and irresistible study of a family struggling to stay together amid tragedy. Parents Igor (Karel Roden) and Irena (Vanda Hybnerová) set sail, island hopping across the Indian Ocean with the family dog Otto, and leaving their teenage children Anna (Jenovéfa Boková) and Erik (Daniel Kadlec) at home alone. No sooner have they left than the teens invite their best friends to the house. Meanwhile, the parents’ boat capsizes at sea, and the dog soon becomes an important player in their survival. When the teens lose contact with their parents, unexpected dramas begin to rapidly unfold. Inspired in part by a news story of a dog surviving on an abandoned island for weeks after a bad storm, the film is unforgettable for its original ending and exquisite camera work.

The film has extensively toured the festival circuit receiving a number of nominations for Best Film. The film won the Award for Best Artistic Contribution at the Tokyo IFF 2015. Karel Roden garnered the award for Outstanding Actor at the Film Festival Cottbus 2015.The film was co-produced by the Czech Republic, Germany, France, Slovenia, and Slovakia.
