BRATISLAVA: The Slovak/Czech historical drama The Chambermaid / Slúžka by the Slovak director Mariana Čengel Solčanská has been picked-up by Picture Tree International (PTI).

Dana Droppová and Radka Caldová play the main characters, and the cast includes popular Slovak actresses Zuzana Mauréry and Vica Kerekes, and the acclaimed Czech actress Anna Geislerová.

The Chambermaid was produced by Slovakia’s Bright Sight Pictures in coproduction with CINEART TV Prague and the Czech Television. The project is supported by the Slovak Audiovisual Fund, the Czech Film Fund, EURIMAGES, the Czech Television and Pardubice region.

The release in cinemas is planned for 27 October 2022, on the occasion of the 104th anniversary of the founding of the first Czechoslovak Republic.
