Oskar Rózsa

A documentary film about Dežo Ursiny, one of the greatest personalities in Slovak music. The film features people on whom he left a deep mark during his lifetime – his long-time collaborator, poet Ivan Štrpka, colleagues Marián Varga and Andrej Šeban, as well as producers, friends, and sons. Through short "snapshots," as one of Ursiny's albums was titled, Krištúfek composes a portrait of this remarkable artist from his bohemian youth to his ascetic period of inner reconciliation before his untimely death.

The film is a testimony to the short but extremely dynamic life of one of the most talented Slovak composers of the new era – Marek Brezovský. He died of a heroin overdose at the age of 20. The film is also a report on an entire generation that came of age in the chaotic post-revolutionary period of the first half of the 1990s. A generation for whom Marek Brezovský's music became their essential cry and sounds like a hymn in their hearts. The film about Marek Brezovský is an attempt to reconstruct one human life. A life that was dramatically short, but incredibly intense and fruitful. Marek Brezovský is perhaps the first Slovak artist to become famous after his death.
