The movie “Tomka and his friends” won the first prize in all categories in The National Film Festival in 1977. In the sketching of her costumes, she finds her time and atmosphere, distinctions and qualities of the characters’ character, their behavior, as well as identifications of their socio-economic status, trying to give them as many content attributes and formal filmic expression as possible.
