Bojena Horackova, a spirited and adventurous individual, emerged from the vibrant city of Prague in the 1960s, driven by an intense longing for freedom that would ultimately lead her to make the courageous decision to flee her native land at the tender age of seventeen.
With a sense of liberation and a thirst for new experiences, Horackova embarked on a transformative journey to the City of Light, Paris, a city that would have a profound impact on her life and serve as the inspiration for her semi-documentary "A l'est de moi", which she crafted in 2008.
