Leading a vacuous, shapeless life, he longs for the ideal woman, while at the same time, half heartedly continuing with his habitual girlfriend, Marusa , who is considerably older, a fact that Peter is quick to point out.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs an intimate character study from the clash of two vulnerabilities: Peter's youthful cynicism and Marusa's deepening despair. It explores not love, but a codependency where rare tenderness drowns in bitterness and alcoholic haze.

Director: Boštjan Hladnik
