Girl America (Czech: Amerikánka) is a 2024 Czech drama film directed Viktor Tauš and written by David Jařab.
Little Ema Černá grows up without a father, with an older and younger brother. Her alcoholic mother neglects their upbringing, which is why Ema ends up in an orphanage. As a teenager, she temporarily lives with foster parents, but ends up in a reformatory due to her bad behavior. She clings to the hope that her father is waiting for her in America. As an adult, Ema then returns to experiences from her past in an attempt to process and come to terms with them.
