When Parents Turn Divine is an adventurous family fantasy comedy that brings ancient Slavic legends into the modern world with plenty of fun and kind humor. It tells a story about friendship, family, and what happens when two completely different times clash. It also shows us that sometimes, kids can achieve much more than adults! The Novák family lives a pretty ordinary life in a cozy Prague neighborhood. Mom manages work and home, Dad just wants some peace and quiet, and their kids, Simona and Petr, deal with school, friends, and their own little everyday worries. But everything changes when two teenagers from a thousand years ago suddenly wake up in the present day! And they aren’t alone—two ancient Slavic gods wake up too, and they take over the bodies of the Novák parents! .

A visually striking portrait of one of
the most significant choreographers
Jiří Kylián and his lifelong muse and love,
Sabine Kupferberg. The film is a personal
reflection on human existence and the
relentless passage of time. Through poetic
and philosophical narrative, Jiří and Sabine
explore their profound relationship to art,
dance, and to one another. At the heart of
their long-standing artistic collaboration
are humor and tenderness, celebrating
the meaning of creative expression, the
fleeting nature of life, and the enduring
ability to find beauty in its most fragile
moments. Although Jiří has created
countless choreographies for Sabine over
the decades, this film marks the very first
time in his career that he appears alongside
her as a central protagonist. Set against the
breathtaking landscape of the Dutch island
of Terschelling, the film draws visual and
emotional parallels between the cycles of nature and the cycle of human life.
