Maria Pourchet: Fire

"The animal feels it and is uneasy about it."

Dramatisation of last year's Czech translation of a brilliant novel by a contemporary French author. A scorching relationship drama set against the backdrop of a covida pandemic, it uses fascinating language to open up the complicated current themes of intergenerational clashes, culture wars and the psychological consequences of quarantine isolation. Above all, however, it provides a riveting study of the two main characters and their neurotic and in every conceivable way toxic relationship. An urgent and most contemporary account of how numbed desire is not enough for sexual gratification, nor is finding your way to another person.
