Ene bene(2000)

Ene bene is a Czech tragicomedy about small-town politics and family dysfunction. Jana, a university student, joins her local election commission while navigating a complicated affair with a married man. Meanwhile, her mother faces her own crisis at home, caught between her husband's indifference and her daughter's emotional turmoil. Director Alice Nellis's debut weaves together two parallel struggles—Jana's romantic entanglement and her mother's marital strain—against the mundane backdrop of municipal elections. The film explores how personal lives collide with civic duty, revealing the quiet desperation beneath ordinary routines. Strong performances and restrained direction bring authenticity to these interconnected relationships, capturing both humor and heartbreak in everyday moments.
