Slovakia Academy Award Nominee
Forty-year-old Milan travels from Germany, where he works, to spend Christmas with his family in their Slovak village. However, the serene and festive atmosphere is unsettled by the suspicion that his son, a member of a paramilitary youth organization, might be involved in a harrowing event that stunned the local community.
The compelling drama by Marko Škop, winner of the Best Actor Award in the Karlovy Vary Festival, highlights xenophobia, religious hypocrisy, and the rise of the extreme right and examines the strength and fragility of family ties.
