‘Caravan’

EXCLUSIVE: Les Alchimistes has acquired French rights to Un Certain Regard title Caravan from Paris-based Alpha Violet.

Czech director Zuzana Kirchnerová’s feature debut is a road movie about a woman overwhelmed with motherhood who steals a caravan and flees to southern Italy with her son who has an intellectual disability. They meet a young drifter whose open heart transforms their makeshift family and gives them hope.

Caravan is produced by the Czech Republic’s MasterFilm and Slovakia’s nutprodukcia, with Italy’s Tempesta co-producing.

Kirchnerová won the Cinefondation’s best short film prize in Cannes for Baba in 2009. Alpha Violet previously sold Lila Avilés’ Oscar-shortlisted Tótem to Les Alchimistes for a 2024 release.

It is the first time in more than 30 years that a majority Czech film has been in the festival’s official selection.
