The Interpreter was previously screened at a festival that is very sensitive to the theme of historical memory, as obliged by its location - the Berlin Film Festival. This gentle and ironic Slovakian road-movie (it was submitted for the Academy Award by its home country) brings us into the very heart of old Europe that has been irrevocably changed and cannot be recognized beneath the wounds left by World War II. A retired old man meets an interpreter, and they set off on a journey around Slovakia, looking for a Nazi officer who killed parents of one of the heroes during the war. The lead role is played by the Czech Academy Award-winning actor Jiří Menzel, who for this film was paired with the dazzling Slovak actor Peter Simonischek, one of the best contemporary actors of his age, who won the European Film Awards in 2016 for his lead performance in Toni Erdmann.
