Newsreel 80 – Metka, Meki Filmski obzornik 80 – Metka, Meki

Nika Autor / Slovenia / 2021 / 78 min / Slovene

The year 1968 left a permanent mark on over half a million Yugoslavians, among them Maribor-based Metka Autor, a Metalna worker, who left for Germany at 28 in hope of a better tomorrow. In the film, she reminisces about the experience of Maribor immigrant workers while preparing dishes. Newsreel 80 records the day-to-day life of this 81-year-old, who generously and welcomingly understands the hardships of contemporary migrants.

When 9-year-old Lucie arrives for a vacation in a small town, she has no idea of the adventures ahead. Beautiful paper-cut animation.
