Friday on My Mind

His will is law. His eyes see everything. His people are everywhere. Big Brother is watching. We are only free in the few cubic centimeters inside our skulls. But are you sure? WAR IS PEACE. FREEDOM IS SLAVERY. Ignorance is strength. Winston Smith longs to escape the prison that is his reality. He wants to get away from the Party, from his job at the Ministry of Truth, from the helpful informers who sniff out thoughtcrime everywhere. Above all, however, Smith wants to escape from loneliness. One day in 1984, he finds the courage to try to break free. But will Big Brother let him go?

Ludovít has lost his son to a ruthless neo-nazi attack. But, due to a failing in the Slovak legislation, the attackers are soon released and Ludovít is faced with an absurd instance of injustice. He struggles with the apathetic police force, the opportunistic judge, but also with the fact that he was never really close to his own son. The more he blames himself for his son's death, the more his relationship with his wife Zuzana and younger daughter Janka falls apart, and the more he tries to influence the investigation.

In the suburbs of a city still reeling from race riots, a Cleveland Orchestra cellist clashes with his artist wife over whether their son should be schooled in an integrated inner-city public school.

Trapped in her own life.
