The aim of FrenÁk’s Nostalg_Y is not to reminisce about a specific age group or to make the audience cry, but to engage the audience in an intellectual and emotional game of association, where no one knows exactly who will become what, but where imagination can help everyone create a story that fits their expectations.

Through randomly colliding, interconnected fragments, we gain insight into what human relations are hidden in the interactions between different generations: for example, between two young individuals who carry their older selves within them and two older characters who carry the consequences of the decisions made by their younger selves.

They include humorous scenes that veer into the absurd, never allowing anyone to take the natural trials that life throws at us too seriously. Even if the roads are sometimes bumpy, the message is clearly positive: every age has its own beauty and its own potential to live up to its full potential. Those who are capable of this do not experience the tragedy of advancing age.

We just have to sometimes dare to look into ourselves with a magnifying glass while viewing others with rose-tinted glasses, so that we can experience what is perhaps unimaginable to a rational mind.
