Wishing on a Star/ Opening night of the new season

The program starts at 6.00 PM with refreshments and an accompanying program, followed by the screening at 7.00 PM. The documentary comedy follows Luciana, a charismatic fortune teller in Italy who helps people recover from heartbreak by recommending destinations for personal transformation and self-discovery.

The event is free of charge and co-organized with the Italian language school Bel Paese.

Please note that the screening and accompanying program will be held only in Czech, so the event is unfortunately not English-friendly.

Luciana, a native of Naples, is one of the most prominent advocates of so-called active astrology. She believes that destiny can be changed in a simple way — all you need to do is travel to a precisely determined place on your birthday. Her work resembles a combination of an esoteric strategy and a travel agency: while studying ephemerides and linking geographical coordinates. In a decaying castle, she welcomes clients who long for new love and hope. In his documentary comedy, Peter Kerekes follows their unusual journeys in search of happiness and the meaning of life with tenderness and gentle humour.
