Constant – An Homage To The Apartment
A tribute to grandparents and an apartment on the top floor of a Bratislava apartment block overlooking the Danube and Austria takes the form of an intimate dialogue. Between generations, past and present, East and West. The apartment in which the filmmaker’s grandparents lived through totalitarian regime and its change until the near present time. In this space, through family experiences and traumas, the author’s identity was also formed.

Film Details

The filmmaker pays tribute to her grandparents who have lived for many years in the same socialist apartment on the 12th floor, with a breathtaking view of the Danube River and Austria, a free world when they were young and Soviet tanks occupied Czechoslovakia. The footage of the present shows us the ever-changing landscape as seen from the window and details from inside, provoking an intimate dialog and disparate memories that have no particular logic, perhaps only an inner one. This is where an auteur movie comes from that manages to discover a connection between generations, between East and West, and in conveying a contemplative mood.
