TONIC (B): „ But anyway… everyone should come to accept oneself somehow. You need a reference point, someone, who can show you your reflection – lovingly, if at all possible. Because it is very painful to fight for your self-worth without the love of others… Well, after all, you know how I was doing before we met.."

The main character of the film is the gender non-binary hero*ine Ariel, whom we encounter at different stages of life. In the featured cut, we invite you to the family table, where we are introduced to various members of Ariel's chosen family, including the snake El Koko, their most beloved creature. The finished film will be presented in later BNF project exhibitions.

Chosen was created specifically for the Beyond Nuclear Family project from Jindřich Chalupecký society. The script was written in collaboration with curator Tereza Jindrová.
