MIKI explores the themes of greed, power, loyalty and family through a story about a Slovak man, who decides to take the chances that post-communist Slovakia offers for business and to become a mafia mobster in order to provide for his family. Soon after, his ambition takes him to finish off his rivals and to become the biggest mafia boss in Slovakia. The same reason will put his position in danger while messing up with politics. Miro Šifra penned the script.

The cast includes Milan Ondrík, Dušan Cinkota, Gregor Hološka, Michal Kubovčík, Martin Nahálka, Anna Javorková and Rebeka Poláková.
