When the War Comes

20-year-old Peter Švrček is the head of “Slovenski Branci”, a nationalist extremist organisation that provides military training for young men. They are preparing for “when the war comes”. The haunting images of Jan Gebert’s film warns us of the increasing radicalisation taking place in Slovakia.
