A Powerful Story That Will Touch Your Heart: POTOPA
On July 4, 2026, at 9:15 PM, you can look forward to the screening of the award-winning and highly successful Slovak film POTOPA by director Martin Gonda.
The film transports viewers to 1980, telling an emotional story from eastern Slovakia set against the backdrop of historical events – the construction of the Starina water reservoir. The main protagonist is fifteen-year-old Mara, who dreams of becoming a pilot to escape the demanding village life. However, her father Alexander, a traditional Rusyn farmer and widower, insists that she stay home and continue working on their native land.
When their valley faces inevitable flooding due to the dam’s construction and subsequent displacement, the father and daughter must not only cope with the loss of their home and family heritage, but they must also find a way to reconcile with each other. The motion picture depicts a powerful internal struggle between respect for traditions, the loss of one’s identity, and the desire for freedom.
Thanks to the use of the Rusyn language and the involvement of both professional actors and non-actors from the local community, the film Potopa delivers an exceptional and raw authenticity. Watching this profound story about the loss of home and the power of nature right in the embrace of the Belianske Tatras will elevate the entire cinematic experience.
Comfort and Excellent Refreshments
The screening will take place in an easily accessible location—right in the resort by the bottom station of the cable car in the Bachledova Valley. Admission to the event is free of charge.
To make your evening absolutely perfect, the popular LA Gamba Restaurant will be open right next to the screening area. Throughout the evening, you will be able to purchase excellent food, snacks, and beverages.
Notice: Since this is an outdoor event, the screening will be canceled in the event of adverse weather conditions for safety and technical reasons.
