Every single minute

Erika Hnikova

Ever since his birth, a Slovak married couple Michal and Lenka Hanuliak have been conducting a peculiar experiment on their now four-year-old son Miski. They spend every minute raising him to one day become a successful athlete and a “quality human being” in all senses of the word. They have decided to sacrifice everything, including their own individual pursuits, in order to achieve this goal. This films captures their efforts for a period of one year and through raw scenes from the Hanuliaks family life, it raises a number of questions with regard to the meaning of parenting in today’s society, single-minded focus on performance and the possible “robotization” of our lives.
