Obsession (2016) 18

Czech Republic | 2016 | 20 min.

A documentary film based on the parallel lives of two women – of a student looking for her place in life and work and of an experienced lady who found her place long ago. Mrs. Sonja Bata and a student of a footwear design studio not only lead audiences through the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, but on the journey of two women, the search for human similarities and differences, and especially the source of desire and obsession that leads us to seek out and achieve them; these should appeal to even those not interested in shoes at all.
