Duchoň tells the story of the Slovak singer Karol Duchoň, who was very popular in the 1970s and 1980s, and died at the age of 35. The film begins during the filming of a New Year’s Eve programme on television in 1984. Then, a man who not long ago had the world at his feet, has his whole life flashing before his eyes in just one night. We see a boy from the country being given the opportunity to play in Western clubs, and becoming a true pop icon of the era. But his huge success is also beginning to awaken his inner demons.

The film was produced by Slovakia‘s D.N.A. Production and Czech´s DNA Production. The budget of 2.2 m EUR was supported by the Slovak Audiovisual Fund.

Duchoň was released in Slovak cinemas by Continental Film.  The Czech premiere is planned for 7 August 2025.
