Spain’s Inopia Films has boarded Michal Blaško’s “Victim,” Slovakia’s Oscar submission heading to Cairo Film Festival after previous showings at Venice and Toronto. Berlin-based Pluto Film is handling sales.
The film has already secured theatrical distribution in its co-production territories, Czech and Slovak Republic (Bonton) and Germany (Rapid Eye Movies).
“We are currently concentrating on the Oscar campaign while securing U.S. theatrical distribution,” Pluto’s managing director Benjamin Cölle tells Variety. Other big territories are in negotiation.
Blaško’s feature debut shows a single mother from Ukraine, Irina (Vita Smachelyuk), who lives in a Czech town with her son (Gleb Kuchuk). When he gets injured, she decides to speak up. Soon, many condemn their Roma neighbors, allegedly responsible for the assault. But there is more to the story.
