Miloslav Kubík

A tribute to Martin Slivka, one of the most important personalities of Slovak cinematography and culture. He was the creator of Slovak documentary ethnographic film, director, screenwriter, dramaturgist, film theoretician, pedagogue, author and ethnograph, but mainly – exceptional person. This documentary is not only a remembrance of maestro Slivka through words of his close friends and colleagues, but also an attempt to slightly uncover the secret of his rich life and work.

Magdaléna, pure-hearted and guided by emotion, attracts Zápotočný, a callous egoist and abuser. Their turbulent relationship, set against a backdrop of social hardship, forces Magdaléna to confront the limits of compassion and the price of innocence when faced with brutal selfishness.
