Michaela Kudláčková delivered a powerful performance in what was her first film role.
The story follows 13-year-old (played by Michaela Kudláčková ), who is placed in a children's home while her father focuses on his own life. Struggling to connect with her peers, Pavla develops an intense, almost unhealthy attachment to her young housemother, Jarmila .
The "glass house" of the title serves as a metaphor for the fragile, transparent environment of the orphanage where privacy is scarce and emotional stability is easily shattered. The central conflict arises when Jarmila announces her engagement and plans to leave the home, which Pavla perceives as a devastating betrayal. Notable Cast and Crew
