Czech feature Servants to enter Berlinale competition

The drama Servants (Sluzebnici) by Slovak director Ivan Ostrochovsky is the first film involving Czech filmmakers selected for this year's Berlinale festival competition, crew member Martina Rekova told CTK. Servants is strochovsky's second film after 2015's Koza (Goat), which had its world premiere at the Berlinale as well. Servants takes place in Bratislava during the 1980s and tells the story of two young boys entering a priest seminary, encountering the troubled state of the Catholic Church at the time, which is collaborating with the Communist regime in then Czechoslovakia through its Pacem In Terris organisation, Rekova said.
