Akcept0

Lucie, a contemporary music composer and performer, creates bizarre pieces using knitting patterns or water turbine schemes, which the public struggles to accept. She prioritises authenticity over popularity, avoiding emotional storytelling in her music. Despite facing resistance from performers and listeners, Lucie remains dedicated, sacrificing much for her art. Her composition “Accept” succeeds, leading her to study in the Netherlands and USA, where she gains acclaim but finds personal life unfulfilled. After losing someone close, Lucie is left adrift in sound, questioning her ability to compose without emotion. Director Jan Hubacek explores these themes in his debut documentary.
