Žiga Virc / Slovenia / 2021 / 72 min / Slovene

An archival documentary by Žiga Virc (Houston, We Have a Problem!) that gives a fresh and unbiased insight into the everyday life of people in Slovenia at the crossroads of history. The product of an extensive campaign in which people were invited to send in their home videos, the film acts as an audio-visual time machine that takes viewers to the chaotic period before, during and after Slovenia’s independence.
