Eastern Neighbours Film Festival On Tour

Join us for the Dutch premiere of Caravan; a poetic and raw road movie about finding joy in rebellion. Czech director Zuzana Kirchnerová will be joining for a live Q&A!

Caravan follows Ester, a mother who has devoted her life to caring for her adolescent son David, who has Down syndrome and autism. Their bond is fierce, but so is her exhaustion. While visiting friends in Italy, tensions rise and the duo is asked to sleep in a caravan. That night, Ester decides she wants more from life, steals the camper and takes off. David begins to change too, gradually opening up to the world, and to Zuza, a vibrant drifter who becomes their companion.

Together they discover a new rhythm, each awakening to their own sexuality and defying the patriarchal roles society assigns to mothers and disabled young men.

A warm and deeply personal film inspired by the director’s own experience. Join us for an evening of bold cinema, conversation and our traditional Eastern European cocktail afterwards!
