Servants (Ivan Ostrochovský, Slovakia / Romania / Czech Republic, 2020, FIC, 80’, SUB. PT/EN)
The year is 1980. Michal and Juraj are students at a theological seminary in totalitarian Czechoslovakia. Fearing the dissolution of their school, the tutors are moulding the seminarians into a satisfactory shape to the ruling Communist Party.
Each of the young students must decide if he will give in to the temptation and choose the easier way of collaborating with the regime, or if he will subject himself to draconian surveillance by the secret police.
