In a secluded town, Matej grows up in a family of people with special needs, feeling as different from his relatives as he does from the outside world. When his relationship with the mother of his daughter falls apart he finds himself in a complicated custody battle that leads him to take a radical act. The Family, a true story ten years in the making and without a screenplay, avoids sensationalism in search of true emotion.

Rok Biček (Class Enemy) records 10 years in the life of a young man growing up in an extraordinary family. Recipient of the Critics Week Award at the Locarno Film Festival and the Vesna Award for best feature film at the Portorož Film Festival in 2017.

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.

“My illness is that I see things too clearly.” Robert Bresson’s The Devil, Probably caused a storm at the Berlinale in 1977, and in France screenings were banned for viewers under eighteen due to fears it might encourage suicide among young people.
