The Ceiling (1962) [Short]

Czechoslovakia (MIFF1965,Czech Films)
Director: Vera Chytilová

This film is by one of Czechoslovakia's few women directors — part documentary, part acted. It is a skilful record of the development of a young uni­versity student who turns model, and gradually realises that her new career, with its intrigues and scepticism, can result in nothing but unrest and frustration.
