33 Steps (2026)

Thirteen years have passed since Milan Daniel was brutally attacked in a hate-fueled incident that left him with a severe brain injury. Now, the man responsible is preparing to walk free. As that moment approaches, what stirs inside a survivor who carries the invisible, lifelong weight of that single, violent day? Blurring the lines between real life and narrative cinema, Slovak filmmakers Šimon and Anna Domček deliver a striking debut—a carefully woven tapestry of fleeting routines, haunting memories, dreams, and deeply personal perspectives. More than just a portrait of one man’s struggle to outrun his past, a shadow that also stretches across generations, the film boldly reimagines how we confront and comprehend racial hatred.
