If Pigeons Turned to Gold

Kdyby se holubi proměnili ve zlato; Pepa Lubojacki, 2026, versions: OR,ES, languages: ces

Director: Pepa Lubojacki • Scenario: Pepa Lubojacki • Camera: Pepa Lubojacki, Tomáš Šťastný • Music: Adam Matej

A raw, self-made and deeply personal work, IF PIGEONS TURNED TO GOLD cuts into addiction and intergenerational trauma, capturing several years in the lives of four family members. Pepa, the director, records on an iPhone and tries to understand why their beloved older brother and cousins live unhoused and experience substance addiction. Formally inventive and playful, diaristic footage enters into dialogue with stylised memories, AI-animated photographs and graphic interventions, shaping a plural voice that negotiates with the past. Unsentimentally, the film traces the causes and fallout of addiction, asking where love ends, control begins, and what respect truly demands: to save, or to let go.
