Kamil Fila is a father, film publicist, supporter of progressive values and gender equality. In the virtual space, he acts as a tireless debater and fighter for a fairer society, in private he experiences painful contradictions between his beliefs and actions. Film fiction and real life mirror each other, and Kamil searches for his better self between the cinema hall, the gym and unstable love relationships. How to become a better version of ourselves when we are lost in our own lives? Martin Mareček's film Strength captures five difficult years in the life of Kamil Fila, during which he struggles with partner problems, depression and a borderline physical experiment on his own body. The result is not only an overwhelmingly honest account of the inner conflict and crisis of middle age, but also a more general reflection on the changes and forms of masculinity in the new millennium.
