At the beginning of February, a new comedy with Slovak and Czech actors premiered. Image name When it goes out according to the director Andy Feha it reflects the moment when the secrets we keep under wraps during the day come to the surface.
However, in the case of husband and wife, chef Nina and gynecologist Richard, not only the light goes out, but also the last remnants of trust. On the table is an old paper napkin with the terms of the divorce, infidelity as revenge and a tasting menu inspired by the 7 sins. The long-awaited opening of Nina’s restaurant turns into a spicy evening full of confusion, absurd situations and humor.
Actor Tomáš Maštalír plays the main character in the comedy. Richard is a man who tried to end his marriage in a slightly unconventional way. How did the Slovak artist react to this?
“I didn’t make excuses for him, because I didn’t even accuse him of anything. Rather, I tried to maybe imagine what it’s like to be in his shoes. I guess I’m trying to understand why he acts the way he does. He tries to explain it a little at the end, but I don’t judge the characters I play. Rather, I try to understand them, but I don’t even try to justify them,” declared Maštalír for Koktejl.sk with musician Teri Čikoš.
According to him, in that story, each character has a role that is important and that must be fulfilled in order for the whole story to work. So it was with his Richard. He admits that his line is quite interesting and surprising.
“I believe that the film will find its way to people. And ultimately, like any good story, it is about us, about people, about man as such, about our weaknesses, about how terribly funny we can be, even tragically, comically in how we complicate our own lives. Unfortunately, we sometimes complicate it for others as well. And how ridiculous we are when we can’t face reality or a problem head on and be honest not only with others, but especially with ourselves.” said the happily married actor, who has a number of films and series behind him, honestly about his partner relationships.
