'Are You There?' follows Father Josef, an ageing priest serving a dwindling rural parish as his faith quietly falters. As the rituals that once gave his life structure lose their meaning, Josef turns to routine and solitude to fill the growing silence. One night, his quiet unravelling is witnessed by Father Tomáš, a younger priest who shares his home and vocation. Through small gestures, shared spaces, and unspoken understanding, the two men navigate doubt, dependency, and companionship. The film observes faith not as certainty, but as something fragile - sustained through human connection when belief itself begins to fade.
