Edita
Instrueret af Pamela Pollak24. marts 2023Documentary
At the end of the 80s, Jarda arrives in Chile from Europe, with his VHS camera and the ashes of his mother Edita; fulfilling the promise to bring her to the land where she lives her happiest period , after fleeing from the Nazis. Intrigued by the family myth, I reconstruct her story to discover who my great-aunt was: a Bauhaus student and a Trotskyist. Through archive material and the letters that Edita writes to her mother from Prague, the decadence of a woman declared mad by Stalinism, and locked up in a sanatorium, is evidenced. The myth of Edita reveals an extemporaneous woman; feminist belonging to an intellectual elite, single mother, harassed by the Czechoslovak secret police and tragically separated from her son. Was Edita really crazy?
