OTIŠLA SAM TRČATI / GONE RUNNING

Mađarska / Hungary

Režija / Director: Gábor Herendi

Uloge / Cast: Dorottya Udvaros, Rozi Lovas, Réka Tenki, Sándor Csányi, László Csuja, Zoltán Schmied, Beatrix Trill, Márk Ember

Vera i njen suprug ispunjavaju svoje liste želja, ali baš kada se približavaju cilju, njen suprug neočekivano premine, ostavljajući jedan posljednji izazov neispunjenim. Odlučna da ispuni njegovu posljednju želju, Vera odlučuje da trči maratonsku štafetu sa svoje tri kćerke. Postoji samo jedna ‘kvaka’: ni jedna od njih nije fizički – ili mentalno – spremna za takav izazov. Emma, najmlađa, bori se da pronađe svoje mjesto na poslu i u privatnom životu. Dorina, najstarija, fokusira se na svoju karijeru umjesto na porodicu. Kata, srednja kćerka, žonglira majčinstvom dok žudi da je njen dugogodišnji partner konačno zaprosi. Uprkos ovim izazovima, Vera traži pomoć trenera i kreće da postigne naizgled nemoguće. Za trčanje, Vera traži od trenera pomoć. Naizgled nemoguć poduhvat majke i njenih kćerki iznenađuje rodbinu i prijatelje, ali Vera je veoma odlučna.

Vera and her husband have been ticking off their bucket list, but just as they near the finish, her husband passes away unexpectedly, leaving one final challenge unfulfilled. Determined to honor his last wish, Vera decides to run a marathon relay with her three daughters. There’s just one catch: none of them are physically—or mentally—prepared for such a challenge. Emma, the youngest, struggles to find her place at work and in her personal life. Dorina, the eldest, focuses on her career instead of her family. Kata, the middle daughter, juggles motherhood while yearning for her longtime partner to finally propose. Despite these challenges, Vera enlists the help of a trainer and sets out to achieve the seemingly impossible. For the run, Vera asks a trainer. The seemingly impossible undertaking of the mother and her daughters takes relatives and friends by surprise, but Vera is very determined.

Harizma, glas i energija koji su ispunjavali čitave dvorane. Karol Duchoň – pjevač kojeg su nazivali „čehoslovački Tom Jones“ – postao je ikona svoje generacije. Film donosi njegove uspone, padove i strasti koje je živio do krajnjih granica. A upravo ovdje, na prostorima bivše Jugoslavije njegov odjek zvuči još snažnije – i to zahvaljujući njegovoj izvedbi slovačke verzije nezaboravnog hita Kemala Montena „Jedne noći u decembru“.

Film Petera Bebjaka, nagrađen desetominutnim ovacijama na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Karlovym Varyma, donosi snažnu emociju, energiju i hitove koji žive i danas.

Charisma, a powerful voice, and an energy that enchanted every arena.

Karol Duchoň – often called the “Czechoslovak Tom Jones” – became an icon of his generation.

This film captures his greatest triumphs, his deepest struggles, and the passions he lived to the fullest.

And right here, in the region of the former Yugoslavia, his legacy resonates even more strongly – thanks to his interpretation of the Slovak version of the unforgettable classic by Kemal Monteno “Jedne noći u decembru.”

Directed by Peter Bebjak and honored with a ten-minute standing ovation at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, this powerful musical film delivers raw emotion, boundless energy, and timeless hits that still live on today.
