    BRATISLAVA: Slovak director Matyas Prikler's neo-realistic debut drama feature Fine, Thanks investigates the way the financial crisis affects the intimate lives of the people, revealing a severe picture of their complicated relationships.

    Fine, Thanks /Ďakujem, dobre consists of a prologue, three main stories, and an epilogue connected by the lead characters. A short film with the same title (then literally translated into English as Thanks, Fine) made by Prikler in 2010 was transformed into the first part of the feature film.

    Marek Leščák and Prikler wrote the script, and Prikler produced through his company MPhilms on a budget of 350,000 EUR. The project received a development grant of 23,600 EUR, a production grant of 200,000 EUR and a postproduction grant of 35,300 EUR from the Slovak Audiovisual Fund. The project was also supported by Litfond.

    Shooting took place in June 2009, December 2010, January 2011, and May - June 2011 for a total of 34 days. It premiered in 2013. The film won all four acting awards at the recent Sun in the Net Slovak film awards held on 26 April 2014.
