The Basics of Killing Družinica

Jan Cvitkovič / Slovenia / 2017 / 95 min / Slovene

In a country in which social help depends on income from two years ago, the boundary between a normal family life and naked poverty is very thin. Druznica, directed by Jan Cvitkovic (Blood and Milk, Gravehopping) reflects the experiences of many families across Slovenia.

The Gradniks are a happy family. Marko is a beloved philosophy teacher in middle school, and Dunja is a successful director of development in a factory. Their son, twelve year old Taras, is a promising judo enthusiast, and his eight year old sister Mala is a lively young girl. Their lives are beautiful and peaceful, until both parents unexpectedly lose their jobs, suddenly overturning their idyllic family life. As Marko and Dunja struggle under increasing pressure, their children begin to increasingly shoulder the burden.

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Moldovan women left in droves for work in Western Europe, leaving their children to be cared for by their relatives. They sent money and other goods home, and in return, their children sent videotaped messages. These intimate recordings testify to the painful void left in the lives of children by mothers forced to leave their homeland to provide a better life for their families.
