Tereza - The CHrage of Love is an intimate feature-lenght documentary that reveals the deep relationship between a mother and her disabled child. The late Tereza Gasparikova, 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 hopeand 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 seaMrs. Gasparikova at workas an inerpreter of the highest calibre.
