Tereza – The Charge of Love is an
intimate feature-length documentary that reveals the deep
relationship between a mother and
her disabled child. The late Tereza
Gašparíková, well-known translator
and interpreter, speaks about her
life, about sacrifice, about the love
that constantly recharged her, and
about the cancer that blindsided her.
Despite its seemingly serious subject
matter, this is a film full of hope and
optimism, thanks in no small part
to the disabled Majka, who shrugs
off her handicap and does her best
to enjoy life to its fullest. We also
see Mrs. Gašparíková at work as an
interpreter of the highest calibre,
meeting with heads of state as well
as working for many years at Art Film
Fest, where she accompanied, interpreted and made arrangements for
stars from around the world. Tereza –
The Charge of Love is a tribute to
a woman who, despite life bringing
her to her knees several times, never
gave up, and always stood back up
on her feet.
