One of the greatest works of Slovak cinematography was 16 years old cursed on dubious ideological and aesthetic criteria "normalization.

The photographic work inspired by five cycles Martinček Martin, whose portrait gallery extends to other characters, cut visually inventive photographs with documentary footage, synchrony and commentary. Undistorted view of civilization, the individuality of the Hanak also searched for answers to straight questions of human existence (as social maladjustment, is one of the resources is to maintain the inner world of harmony, freedom and focus on the essence of being). The apparent bizarreness often hides a tragic fate, struggle with poverty, selfishness, disease, dislike, age, and retain the ability to have a fight with the world and ourselves and intensely experience their own existence. Pictures of the Old World is the second feature film, a young Slovak director Dušan Hanák. There is the evocation of the old bygone days, but a perceptive look at the artist autumn of human life.
