Event description:
Miki Černák, a boy from Telgárt, became a respected leader of a mafia group. However, that’s not enough for Černák. He wants to dominate all of Slovakia, to become the boss of all bosses. The road to the top is paved with traitors and corpses. And Černák underestimated the most powerful mafia that ever ruled Slovakia – politicians and their secret service.
In Slovakia, “one hand washes the other,” and ČERNÁK is a continuation of the film MIKI, which takes place in the first half of the 1990s and tells the story of how a former driver became the head of one of the most feared mafia groups in Slovakia. “In the film ČERNÁK, the close cooperation between politicians and the underworld is fully set in motion,” says the film’s producer Zuzana Mistríková. “The looted (or rather, privatized) Slovakia is fully exploited, the secret service behaves like the mafia, and it fully exposes how ‘one hand washes the other’ in Slovakia—without any moral boundaries or scruples. Just like today.” The film is based on true events.
