Puppet film by Gejza Dezorz

In cinemas November 2025
ABOUT
Dukla is the first Slovak puppet film that combines the charm of live animation with the suspense of an action movie. Set against the backdrop of World War II, it explores the persecution of dissidents, repressions, and aggressive propaganda, guiding the viewer through dramatic historical events – from the occupation of Košice by Horthy’s army to the bloody battles for the Dukla Pass.
At the heart of the story lies an unexpected relationship between a ruthless Nazi officer and a poor young man from the persecuted Roma minority. Their gradual journey toward human understanding becomes a powerful message about the need for tolerance and solidarity – especially in a time when society is once again divided.
