Plots(1)

Marek lives with his mother and grandmother. He receives a video camera and decides to make a non-fiction film about his Gran. She agrees, but only on condition that he fulfills her dream and lets her play a vampire in a series of home horror movies. As time goes by, Marek notices that she is beginning to make mistakes about the dates and facts of her life story, mixing up what happened and when it happened. She is slowly losing her memory. He realises that he is now making a film that is completely different from the one he set out to make. And thanks entirely to his camera, he discovers something about himself. Something which, in all likelihood, he would really rather not have known. (Prague Short Film Festival)
