Monyova, 55min., Czechia
Directed by Zuzana Kirchnerová
Simona always defied the ideas of the perfect woman – she was too interesting. You would easily find just such a bon mot or paradox in the books of one of the best-selling writers in the Czech Republic after the Velvet Revolution in 1989. In the 1990s, Simona Monyová achieved one of the most fairy-tale career rises – from an ordinary apartment building in Brno to the top of the charts and magazine covers. Her books were funny, romantic, and sarcastic, and their author became a symbol of Czech literature for women. This was also because her charisma and much-discussed private life gave rise to speculation about how much of her writing was inspired by her personal life.

My project, “Pieces of Me”, is a self-reflection of my emotional journey from self-doubt to self-acceptance. There are always moments in life where we feel confident we can complete something, but then encounter an obstacle and feel self-doubt. Eventually, we accept the weaknesses in ourselves, overcome the obstacle and gain confidence again.
