Lucy - How to Live a Life (2018) 15

Czech Republic | 2018 | 52 min.

The portrait of a young woman struggling with drug addiction. We follow a charming and somewhat naive girl who, after drug rehab, decides to start a new life, finish high school, and organize her private life. We gradually see the details of her life: work in the porn industry, serious illnesses, nonfunctioning family and bad relationships, mental problems, suicide attempts and the development of psychosis. With her kind nature and spontaneous joy, she infects others with her optimism, but her problems wear her down and each fall is a little further than the last.
