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.

Let’s go up to the clouds. What if mum was an airplane? And what if a little alien landed in our garden? With paper dragons, we fly to Jordan, talk on the phone with birds and, at the end, fly under the sea.
