Největším epicentrem covidové pandemie se stal New York. Horečný puls ikonické metropole se zastavil a osm milionů obyvatel čelí úderu, který je srovnáván s teroristickými útoky 11. září. Osobitý pohled režisérky Terezy Nvotové na těžce zkoušené město

New York in Times of Corona directed by Tereza Nvotová for Czech TV

“New York became the biggest epicenter of the Covid pandemic. The feverish pulse of the iconic metropolis has stalled and eight million people are facing a strike that is being compared to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Director Tereza Nvotová's distinctive view of the hard-tested city.

“...Nvotová remained trapped in New York, which became the epicenter of the Covid-19 pandemic in the spring months. The mood in the city is reminiscent of the atmosphere after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Hundreds of people die every day. New York is called a city that never sleeps. Now the paralyzed metropolis has stopped, the streets have emptied, hospitals are failing, and New Yorkers are facing a tough test that connects and divides. The unrepeatable situation was captured by Nvotová through interviews with local people, whose lives have been completely changed by the epidemic, and also through her video diaries, in which she describes the feelings and fears of a stranger who cannot return home.”

Yes, it’s mostly in Slovak but there are little gems in English, including Jacob Pitts playing the guitar (and singing Don’t Fear the Reaper!), a birthday Zoom call/mini-TP reunion with Keith Nobbs, a bemused clerk who recognizes Jacob, and Jacob and Tereza’s sweetly romantic marriage in the street.
