14 years in the life of a drug addict. Katka is an extraordinarily raw and uncensored character portrait of a troubled young woman living on the edge, desperately searching for love and salvation. Will she find it in rehab? Will she find it in the arms of the man she loves? Or in the first cry of her long-desired baby? Tagging along with her through the back streets and squalors of Prague, the director gets deep under the skin of a person many of us would cross the road to avoid.
