Broken Voices is a 2025 thriller drama film written and directed by Ondřej Provazník. The primary impulse for the creation of the film was the sexual abuse scandal in the Bambini di Praga case.

Production

Broken Voices is produced by Endorfilm in association with Punkchart Films, Czech Television, Innogy, and Barrandov Studios, with financial backing from several film institutions, including Eurimages and the Czech Audiovisual Fund. For the role of Karolína, the protagonist, newcomer Falbrová was chosen through a nationwide casting search.

The film was shot in Brno, Prague, Mladá Boleslav, the Jizera and Orlické Mountains, and New York City. In New York it was filmed in locations at Manhattan subway, Central Park, and Hotel Bossert in Brooklyn. Multivision Creative, a New York-based production services company helped in re-creating 1990s in New York City.

The production brought together a diverse cast comprising both professional actresses and actual choir members to authentically recreate the dynamics of a real-life ensemble. The soundtrack combines classical choral music with contemporary touches from Czech producers Aid Kid and Jonathan Pastircak, whose subtle input highlights the film’s psychological depth while preserving its more subdued scenes.
