Lions of Czech Film Series: Marbles | Kuličky

May 13, 8 pm

Marbles is a fresh humorous film about women loving men and women loving themselves at the expense of men. The four short stories take place in various settings and heroines are women of different age.

It all starts on the playground among children. As time goes by, a feminine mechanism of manipulation begins to develop, transform, and ripen until it reaches the stage of perfection. Individual short stories take place at a techno party as well as in a Catholic parsonage and they conclude with the content domestic routine of two old people which cannot be disrupted by anything—not even death. The short stories about women of different ages and lifestyles put together a story of one complete human life which was, thanks to the manipulation of others, lived according to plan and at the same time wasted away.
