Svet podľa môjho tatka

“I thought it would be easier,” admits director Marta Kovářová halfway through the film. In the form of a vivid diary, she captures her father's fight for climate justice. Jiří Svoboda from the Institute of Physics of Materials of the Czech Academy of Sciences came up with an ingeniously simple idea to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. He proposes a global carbon price. Accompanied by his daughter's camera and songs, the Brno scientist visits local protest meetings and global environmental summits. The infectious determination of both protagonists, however, clashes with the slothfulness of politicians and the inflexibility of power structures. Yet Svoboda never loses his humour and his belief that certain things make sense simply because they are the right thing to do. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)

This film/discussion starter was obviously made in a primitive way, though with the tremendous passion and conviction with which it is necessary to undertake certain projects, however misguided they may outwardly appear to be. Simply because they can bring forth something good. For example, a climate that won’t kill us. The difficult effort to publicise Svoboda’s idea for a global carbon tax is intertwined with the buddy-movie story of a father and daughter (for whom the film is, among other things, a way to understand her dad). Thanks to this, the ending of the film is not entirely depressing, as it does a good job of showing how the protagonists’ relationship has been transformed during their mission together instead of highlighting failure. It also avoids being depressing thanks to the natural humour and the dynamic between the characters defined through, among other things, recurring situations (economical loading of the dishwasher) and endearingly goofy songs, which liven up the narrative whenever it seems that the wheels are about to come off. One of the few films about environmental sorrow that won’t leave you feeling dejected when it’s over. 75%
