Tšekkiläistä entistä narkomaania 15 vuoden ajan seuraava dokumentti tarjoaa viiltävän lähikuvan työttömän ja asunnottoman arjesta. Äidiksi tultuaan Mallory haluaa hylätä entisen elämäntapansa, mutta huumeiden jättäminen on vasta ensimmäinen askel kohti tasapainoista elämää.

I prefer Helena Třeštíková's work on television. These "big" documentaries are just an inflated and fluffy time-lapse. This time it's about the story of Mallory, who changed her life after detox and moved on and on. She may not be lucky in finding love, but she's holding on to her life, abstaining, building a relationship with her son, eventually getting a place to live, and even starting school. But if I'm going to take a deeper dive, it needs a cycle and it should especially not be a documentary about how Mallory partied.

Helena Třeštíková is such a good documentary filmmaker that she is able to make the viewer aware of the strength of some of the life stages of the presented characters solely through the editing. Yes, it's very subjective, but it's also very powerful. Even though this is not a positive film, it shows how even a junkie homeless woman can get back on her feet if she doesn't give up.
