The meeting of five former lay jurors of the Czech Joy section of Ji.hlava IDFF with five directors gives rise to a playful documentary portrait of a place, its people and a whole lot of films. The dialogue they have with each other mirrors the events at the festival throughout its duration and gives a concrete face and voice to the main actors in this celebration of documentary filmmaking. Moreover, the customary roles are momentarily reversed and the perspective is refreshingly changed. The audience directs and the filmmakers become actors in the short films/confessions that are being shot as they talk about their creative method, their current and future plans, or their worldviews.
