Старый холостяк Пишта работает на железнодорожной почте. Низкий, полный и очень несчастный, он совершенно одинок и не интересен никому из окружающих. Свои комплексы и постоянные безуспешные попытки найти подругу Пишта лечит алкоголем и мечтами о любовных приключениях. Больше всего на свете он желает полноценных отношений и немного достоинства. Пишта завидует своей знакомой паре - Винцо и Вере. Веру Пишта очень желает, а собутыльник Винцо для Пишты является недосягаемым идеалом деревенского Казановы, в которого влюблена Вера. Эти три персонажа образуют треугольник, вокруг которого выстроено действие.

A story of a young student of medicine, who arrives in a small mountain village after being accused for carrying out illegal abortion. The film reflects the moral decline of the society, where stealing in secret and making compromises against one's beliefs make up mundane reality. The filmmakers went to perhaps the furthest possible limits in terms of allowed social criticism in the 1980s. The negative picture is enhanced by its rural setting, since the Slovak village had been traditionally associated with strict morals and conservative values.

Television film about people who are actively involved in the Slovak national uprising in 1944. A screen adaptation of the novel by Rudo Moritz in 1951.

The story of a young lawyer who finds herself in a difficult situation when she encounters troubles in her burgeoning career and complications in private her life.

A visual essay on the forgotten parts of Eastern Europe. The outskirts here are a Slovakian town in the Tatra Mountains. Though censored for 17 years, Dusan Hanáks poetic visual essay is not a political or even social film. It goes to far deeper and more fundamental levels of human experience. Inspired by the photographs of Martin Martinek, the films power lies in its unusual portraits of people whose raw visual beauty radiates from their very souls.
