Shadowplay tells the story of a paramedic Jan, whose wife was murdered. Over time, he tries to accept his fate and start anew, however the erroneous judicial system fails to punish the culprit accordingly and Jan is unable to come to terms with the fact that the murderer walked free. He decides to take matters into his own hands and fight against the circumstances and the system itself.
The main character of Jan Kavka is played by Slovak actor Milan Ondrík.
The estimated budget is 22 m CZK / 853,151 EUR. The film is supported by the Czech Television, Hangar Films, UPP, Slovak Audiovisual Fund, RTVS and Continental film.
The release is planned for October 2021 in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Continental film will be the Slovak distributor.
