feature film in pre-production
The Nightsiren is a drama set in the wild Slovak mountains. It tells the story of what it takes to be free if you don’t follow a conventional path.
A mysterious woman returns to her mountain village home to confront her painful past. Trying to uncover the long-buried truth, the local villagers accuse her of murder and witchcraft.
The second feature of writer-director-producer team behind “Filthy” is based on beliefs still alive in the countryside of modern Slovakia. It deals with pressing issues in today’s world – fear and superstition which go hand in hand with misogyny and racism.
