Three friends embark on a trip to the seaside, just like the one they did in high school. But they are no longer the kids they used to be. Will their friendship survive? This generational road movie is – as many critics in Slovenia and abroad noted – the more-than-promising debut of director Nejc Gazvoda. Variety selected the film for its “Ten European Filmmakers to watch” section presented at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival. Slovene spoken. English subtitles.
