The Slovak Journey

The Most Beautiful Corner in the World

(Najkrajší kút v šírom svete)

At a TV studio’s casting call, applicants share their impressions of Slovakia. Ultimately a young Ukrainian woman gets the job. After the massive invasion of Ukraine, the fictional Slovak station’s reports take viewers on visits to nationalist groups, political rallies and cultural institutions, where various views on the country’s past and present collide.

Protests by opposition parties, supporters of the First Slovak Republic, and displays at the Museum of the Slovak National Uprising trigger debates filled with charges of fascism, showing how difficult this term is to interpret. The film reflects on the dynamic changes and deep contradictions in Slovak society as it searches for a path to transformation and unification.
