Neven is an independent film that tells the story of a boy, Peter, who lost his family as a result of a global war. The world is devastated and without hope. However, after a long journey, Peter finds a new meaning in his life, which, on the one hand, brings him an unexpected friendship and on the other reconciliation with the past.
The film was created in cooperation with Theatre Divadlo z Pasáže, a municipal community theatre in Slovakia working with actors with Down syndrome. One of the main themes of the film is an exploration of what it means to go on living when there seems to be no road ahead. It’s a story about characters overcoming their demons, leaving bad experiences of life behind, and trying to find new hope for a better future.
The film premiered in cinemas across Slovakia in September 2022. Now you can watch it here. Below I want to share some lessons from the making of the film.
