COMEBACK / POVRATAK U ŽIVOT

COMEBACK

Main program (competition) > Documentaries

Time in one of Slovakia’s most guarded prisons, where most of the prisoners return regularly, passes very slowly. Two recidivists evaluate their past and look into the future as the time of their release approaches. How does the whole process look and what awaits Zlatko and Miro outside of jail after many years? Once out, they are empty-handed with no education and a criminal record.

Miro Remo is originally from the industrial town of Ladce (Slovakia). Miro is the holder of more than 40 awards from international film festivals. Miro’s most successful film so far is a portrait of his uncle and grandmother called „Arsy-Versy“. In terms of number of awards received, it is the most successful Slovak film ever.
