In management, action items are tasks that must be performed to resolve an issue. But what if the issue is not individual, but systemic? In her second feature documentary, director Paula Ďurinová explores how personal experience of burnout shifts into collective sharing and awakening. Set in Berlin, Action Item transforms anxiety into resistance, reframing struggles through shared memory, found footage, and the politics of care. What if the real task is to unlearn, to pause, to reimagine?
