2024
Three young actresses go to the Karlovy Vary Film Festival together. The successful Adéla will present her new film. The burnt-out Ema goes to support Adéla. And carefree Soňa just wants to enjoy movies and parties. But the days at the festival don't go as expected and the three women's friendships and careers are put to the test. Can they still manage to outwardly act like they're happy and at ease? Šimon Holý's comedy shows the harsh truths about the film industry and the acting profession. It describes authenticity as a goal that is hard to achieve.

Reviews
"Holý reveals the actual life of an actress, focusing on their performativity on social media and in social interactions while critiquing the industry's treatment of women, focusing especially on objectification and sexism."
Martin Kudláč, Cineuropa
"A smart movie that's not afraid to look a little silly."
Eva Klíčová, Alarm
„Hello, Welcome s lehkostí studuje frustraci táhnoucí se napříč pozdními mileniály.“
Kristýna Skalníková, Novinky.cz
„ Nezávislost je nejspíš pro režiséra z nouze ctnost – dokázal z ní ale vytěžit nebývalou autenticitu svých filmů, která téměř nemá v tuzemském filmu srovnání.“
Irena Hejdová, Deník N
