Another contribution from the Jiří Menzel Foundation goes to Zlín. The contract was signed on behalf of the team by producer Sara Stoklasová. It is a graduation film THE BIG DARIUS. The film will be made at the Film School in Zlín.

Eighteen-year-old Darius dreams of escaping the bleak reality of the housing estate, where he takes care of his younger brother and faces his addicted mother. When he gets the chance to start a new life, he discovers that freedom has its price. His greatest dilemma becomes not the escape itself, but who he leaves behind.
