Author's speech

Hello, dear visitor.

My name is Juraj Karniš. I live and create in Sabinov. In 2003, me and my friend Štefan Lompart spoke about our Sabinov. He came with an idea that he addressed to me as an artist. He proposed so that I created a memory tablet of the film The Shop on the Main Street that was shot in Sabinov and in 1966 got the Academy Awards - OSCAR. This tablet was ceremonially fixed in 2004.
Some years later there was the idea to create a life-sized statue of Tóno Brtko (main character).

Bronze cast would be placed on the pavement – Main Street just in front of the replica of the film shop of Mrs Lautmanová in Sabinov, Slovak Republic. The town visitor will have the chance to meet Tóno Brtko played by phenomenal Slovak actor, Jozef Kroner.
If this idea appealed to you, please register and become a part of it.

Thank you.

Juraj Karniš, Author of the sculpture

Additional information

Ján Kadar and Elmar Klos's film The Shop on Main Street (1965) deals with the story of an ordinary man. a carpenter called Tóno Brtko. He isn't interested in events taking place around him and even he doesn't understand them much. The town in the First Slovak Republic lives peacefully, only the building of the Monument of Victory points out the regime clearly. An elderly widow Lautmann enters Tóno's life fatefully as Tóno with the help of his brother - in - law becomes the Aryan controller of her little shop. Mrs Lautmann doesn't omprehend what Tóno is doing in her shop while Tono is just pretending he doesn't understand her and is arization in order not to be striking before the eyes of his wife and his brother - in - law. The Jewish community even pays Tono because they are aware of the fact that the little shop is non - profitable. They want to prevent Tóno from taking away even the little money the elderly widow Lautmann possesses as Tóno needs to bring the money earned by arization home to Evelina, his wife. However, the circumstances are becoming worse and Tóno watches bitterly his benefactor Imro Kuchár being beaten and dragged off. He gets to know about the transport approarhlng through Andomič and Uncle Piti. when the two incomprehensible worlds of Mrs Lautmann and Brtko meet. the critical moment leads to cataclysm and the top of the culmination in the form of a tragic scene - an unintentional murder and a forced suicide.

The film won the highest film prize - the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film or simply an Oscar on 18 April 1966 as the first in the history of Czechoslovak Cinematography
