Antonie

Original title: Antonie
Participated in: MIDPOINT Feature Launch 2024
Country: Czech Republic, Slovakia, France

When Anton, an eternal slacker and the father of 3-year old Antonie, gets fired from his job at the supermarket, his girlfriend Soňa decides to go to France to earn money for the family as a pole dancer. Left alone to take care of a little girl in a society where men don't usually take paternity leave, Anton becomes a subject of ridicule.

With not much help around, the only support he gets is from the Roma family of his best friend Tibor. Slowly, while taking care of Antonie, he surprisingly finds the motivation he's always lacked in life. He gets back on his feet by dealing weed to mothers on maternity leave. This idyllic life is shattered when Anton's drunk stepfather cruelly remarks that Antonie isn't his daughter. The seed of doubt is planted and Anton starts to suspect his best friend Tibor, suddenly realizing all that he could lose.
