New Classmates Novi sošolci

Toni Cahunek / Slovenia / 2025 / 89 min / Slovene, Albanian, English, Slovene subtitles

Slovenia’s economy relies on workers from Kosovo. But how does society accept their children? The documentary New Classmates explores the background of Kosovar immigration and the challenges their children face integrating into a new country. It highlights the stories of four children of immigrant families and their parents, who face various obstacles due to their ethnic background and limited knowledge of the Slovenian language.

Francesco Sossai breathes new life into Italian comedy with a bittersweet road movie.
