Karavan - Letní kino Litoměřice

Czech Republic, Slovakia, Italy, 2025, 103 min | Director: Zuzana Kirchnerová

Forty-five-year-old Ester dreams of finally having some peace after years of caring for her son David, who has an intellectual disability. She accepts an invitation from friends to Italy – but David is unpredictable and emotionally volatile in a foreign environment. To stay out of everyone's way, she starts up an old caravan and sets off with her son on a journey across Italy with no plan and no obligations.

Their path crosses with the direct and open Zuza, in whose presence both can be themselves. Through her, Ester realizes that her son is no longer a child and finds the courage to want something for herself too.

Karavan is a road movie about freedom, different forms of love, and the desire to finally start living.
