Love Found
Overview: Love Found is a short film about the search for mutual understanding between a mother and her son, who are unable to communicate and find a way to connect with each other. Neither of them realizes how much they need each other, and it takes an utterly absurd situation involving an online scam to make them aware of it. Directed by Matěj Macháček, this drama not only explores misunderstanding but also forgiveness and maternal love. The absurd situation evolves into a psychological drama, allowing the acting performances of Barbara Lukešová and Kristián Kašpar to truly shine.
