The society's prejudices, exclusion from opportunities to obtain legal work.
The Way Out tells a story of a young Romani couple, Zaneta and David, the parents of little Janicka. Their efforts to live a decent and dignified life run up against the "Romani social trap," which is racism, the society's prejudices, exclusion from opportunities to obtain legal work, the lack of necessary qualifications, difficult communication with officials, debts and the miserable life conditions connected with the environment, lifestyle and traditional values of their ethnicity. David wants to protect his family, even at the expense of committing a crime. But Zaneta finds inner strength to defy the unfavorable situation in a different way. Will they overcome the existential problems that start to take apart their relationship? Is it worthwhile for them to continue to Honor their own values and family traditions? And will their "way out" be only another "escape" for them, or a promise to change their lives?

Cesta Ven / The Way Out is like a photocopy of a great painting: even if it's not terribly original, it still has something to offer. This is the portrait of a Roma woman struggling to get by in the Czech Republic. Her family, her friends, the government, the nationals all pressure her to live on the fringes, but she's cursed with the desire to do everything the right way. This film borrows a lot from other socially aware films that have gone before it (the Ken Loach vibes are strong in this one). It presents a bleak picture of poverty, nationalism, immigration, racism... but what sets it apart from others of this ilk is the incredible performance by lead actress Klaudia Dudová. The film is based around this talented young newcomer and she delivers a striking performance that will leave its mark.
