The film is based on the award-winning contemporary novel by Monika Kompaníková Piata loď (The Fifth Boat). The film is produced by Hulapa film, Ltd. and coproduced by endorfilm and Katapult Film.
The film is about children who feel safer outside on the street than at home. Ten-year-old Jarka is such a child. Her mother doesn’t want to be a mother. Jarka spends most of her time alone. She lives in her apartment full of strange visitors where she doesn't even have a bed to call her own. Jarka desperately seeks the love of her indifferent and often depressed mother, but she finds it accidentally when she briefly becomes a “mother” to two babies.
Producer Katarína Krnáčová participated in this year‘s EAVE producers workhsop.
She talked with FNE about the advantages of her participation with She Is a Harbour project: “We already have two weeks behind us and one is about to come in October. For me it´s perfectly scheduled from the point of view of production on She Is a Harbour. In the first place I have learned a lot about the legislative, financial and marketing aspects of my work, but also I have been introduced to many young producers and film professionals, which I consider as crucial for my work. We coproduced the film with the Czech producer from the very beginning, and during the financing phase of preproduction we also found a Hungarian partner. During the upcoming months, we will focus on searching for the right sales agent, with whom we can start to develop a marketing and sales plan already during the production.”
Development and production of the film have been supported by the Slovak Audiovisual fund, the State Cinematography Fund and Media – Creative Europe. The estimated budget of the film is 1,025,000 EUR and the premiere is planned for the second half of 2016.
