Absinthe

This film captures a unique moment when the filmmaker revisits the Kafka house in Prague. While the area has become a tourist attraction, he finds solace in a local bar, where he orders absinthe for the first time. The narrative unfolds with his experience of learning how to properly mix and flame the drink, making it a personal exploration of tradition and taste.

Absinthe also touches on themes of artistry, with references to famous artists like Picasso and Degas. The use of a pocket video camera to document this experience adds an intimate touch, giving viewers a glimpse into the filmmaker's journey of discovery and connection to the local culture. The film serves as a meditation on the intersection of drink, art, and memory.
