Totally Talking

Our hero is 25yearold Štěpán a nice enough guy but a bit of a waster who doesnt have a clue what to do with himself At the call centre where he works he is jolted out of his lethargy when he takes a call from the mysterious and seemingly levelheaded Marie This playful flick revolves around young protagonists full of insecurities who are struggling to break out of the crushing stereotypical mould And although Štěpán might not know exactly which path to take in life the mere decision to put one foot in front of the other indicates a certain degree of progress In its chosen stylisation the film opts for bizarre condensation and in places ventures into absurd poetics even so it reveals great understanding for its characters faltering moves
