Jan turns into a widower with the full awareness that he is responsible for his wife’s death because he did not help her in a critical moment. He hides from guilt in a local boxing club. After a string of revelations, Jan starts pursuing his wife’s murderer himself, fearing the culprit could avoid justice and punishment.

and the television miniseries Justice (read the news). He reveals in his director’s statement that Shadowplay will be shot in the new film noir style. “New film noir frequently synthesizes diverse genres. That's what I like the most about 21st century films, multi-genre,” he says, explaining that the film will combine melodrama, thriller, crime, action film, and psychological drama. Bebjak’s long-time collaborator DoP Martin Žiaran is behind the camera, while Hynek Čermák, Vladimír Javorský and Kristýna Frejová star alongside Milan Ondrík. Principal photography is divided into two parts: December 2020 and April 2021. The production has adapted to the new shooting regulations during the pandemic, investing in hygienic measures and testing the film crew.

Shadowplay is produced by Czech outfit Hangar Films and co-produced by Barletta Production (Czech Republic), D.N.A. Production (Slovakia), Czech Television, Radio and Television Slovakia, and Xpoint. The Czech and Slovak premiere is set for October 2021 with Falcon handling the domestic theatrical release.
