Buko

2022 Comedy Drama
4.4 / 10 · TMDB

After losing her husband, Jarmila finds herself at a crossroads in her life, where she must decide whether to patiently "wait out" the rest of her life or rebel and throw herself into an adventure with an uncertain outcome. Despite the well-meaning advice of her adult children, she chooses the latter. This involves living in a cottage in the romantic wilderness of the Mácha region, which her husband particularly loved. In addition, he bequeathed her a retired circus horse named Buka in his will, which at first glance seems like a cruel joke, because Jarmila is afraid of horses. With the help of her neighbors, she decides to face the situation head-on and soon discovers that, although it didn't seem like it at first, it is precisely this horse that could bring happiness back into her life.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a story of maturation that can arrive at any age, relying on a delicate balance between comedic situations and dramatic depth. It explores the Czech landscape not merely as a backdrop, but as an active participant in the heroine's transformation.

What lingers after viewing is a warm, unsentimental journey where the metaphor of 'taming' an animal becomes a metaphor for conquering one's own fears and finding new freedom. A gentle, affirming reminder that new beginnings are possible even after great loss. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Alice Nellis
