Czech That Film 2023: Buko

Jarmila's life changes significantly in quite a senior age when she and her husband move from Prague to countryside to spend the rest of their lives there. But her husband Václav gets cancer and dies soon, and Jarmila must take things to her own hands. The impulse to change her previous, quite passive life attitude, comes with a surprising gift her husband leaves her in his last will: an old circus horse Buko, she is supposed to take care of now. Jarmila starts a new phase of her life. With help of an autistic Tereza, neighbour Karel and his mother, she tries to create a new home for Buko and find her way to him. But to be able to do so, she first must acknowledge her own feelings and stop hiding behind a daily routine and silly TV shows.
