Every Single Minute / Každá minuta života (Czech Republic, Slovakia 2021)

documentary, 80 min, en subtitles, 12+. Directed by Erika Hníková, written by Erika Hníková.

Childhood is an immensely precious period in one’s life, but how to make the most of it? The Hanuliaks, a couple from Slovakia, have decided to raise their child according to the methods of “Kamevéda”, a complex approach to developing the child’s motor skills and intellect. They have subordinated everything in their everyday life to their 4-year-old son Miško, in the hope that he will one day become both a top athlete and a perfect individual. Since his birth, his parents have intentionally blurred the difference between training and play, as even their ordinary breakfast conversation becomes a mental exercise.

An engaging documentary that follows a year in Miško's life, where not a single minute is wasted because there is no room for boredom and the moments of rest are merely preparation for the next achievement.
