Martin Kukučín, originally Matej Bencúr (1860 Jasenová, Slovakia, at the time Austrian-Hungarian Monarchy – 1928 Pakrac, Croatia, at the time The Kingdom of Serbians, Croats and Slovenians) is a leading representative of prosaic writing within the Slovak realism in literature. His works are valued as innovative according to its contribution to the Slovak language. In his works Kukučín used spoken language and, together with depiction of both every-day and holiday life in village, the details of life as leading motive, he transfered the spoken Slovak to the language of literature.

The short story Red Heifer was written in 1885. Already in this critically light novel, pointing to traditional bad habit – alcoholism, the author’s talent for story-telling and sense of humor got strongly manifested. Through the story of typical village person – shoemaker Adam Krt, who falls deep into alcohol addiction what influences both his judgment and human relationships, the author created a series of tragic-comic events.
The original writing was adopted into screenplay by Roman Goroľ, in Romani language. The language correction, direction, music, post-production and production was provided by the Department of documentation and information center for Romani culture in the State Scientific Library in Prešov in 2018.
