TINY LIGHTS is the third film by Beata Parkanová, a director known for her close exploration of human relationships, often drawing from her own experiences. This time, she takes the viewer on an intimate, lyrical journey through a pivotal day in a little girl's life. From a child's perspective—reflected strongly in the film's visual concept—we witness the moment when Amálka realizes her parents' marriage is in deep crisis, and the secure world she once knew begins to crumble.
