I Am Wandering is a dream-like short story experiment interweaving four small chapters from the life of a Slovak woman named Júlia. Júlia experiences certain turning points in her life in Olomouc and its immediate surroundings. The story is framed by a journey in which the protagonist accompanies her mother to a reunion of former classmates. Throughout the year, Júlia experienced disappointment and joy, a relationship, and University entrance exams. The most distinctive actor here is, of course, Vladimír Javorský, playing both a mime and a taxi driver who becomes the center of the whole narrative. Whether the title story or the other stories, everything is conceived as a tribute to the city of Olomouc. This is also the main asset of the film in its entirety. The atmosphere of this city seems to have seduced the whole filmmaking team to create an ambitious experiment and a musical background that has a pleasantly mystical effect. Very pleasant is the small role played by Hana Maciuchová, who, although born in Šternberk, has close ties to Olomouc. ()
