Comedy Queen

The story of 13-year-old Sasha, who, despite her immense sorrow, refuses to mourn her dead mother. She secretly writes a list of everything she must do to survive: shave her hair, stop reading books, say no to the world's cutest puppy and, above all, become a stand-up comedian to make everyone laugh, especially her father, who secretly cries in the shower when he thinks no one can hear him. Based on Jenny Jägerfeld's novel of the same name, sold in 21 countries, including China, Japan, Germany, and France. (Zlín Film Festival)
