The number of acid attacks has been rising rapidly worldwide over the last ten years. But Martina is only the second case of a woman in the Czech Republic who has survived a brutal acid attack as an act of revenge by an ex-boyfriend. The documentary Is There Any Place For Me, Please? charts Martina’s steps from the moment the world as she knew it collapsed in an instant. Suddenly, no familiar patterns could be applied to the life she had lived until then, and Martina had to learn to live anew and differently, all while being blind. In very intimate accounts, supplemented by situations describing her admirable struggle, we follow Martina step by step from her lowest lows to her highest highs. The filmmakers chose the topic of physical beauty to be the main theme,exploring how irrelevant it becomes when one must discover and learn to rely on what lies hidden beneath the surface.

After the screening, there will be Q&A with the director Jarmila Štuková. Moderated by Diana Fabiánová.
