A subversive comedy in Slovenian street language. A debut feature directed by Tijana Zinajić, a distinguished theatre director and actress, and written by an acclaimed young screenwriter Iza Strehar. "The film is a nostalgic dedication to youth; to the club of the 27 who are still alive, to the roomie life with its pros and cons, to Ljubljana nightlife, to Metelkova, to slang, to contemporary 'sex-drugs-and-rock'n'roll'. (...) The key question is no longer how to get back on your feet, how to succeed, but first and foremost, how to come to your senses" (Tina Poglajen, Radio Slovenija). Bitch, a derogatory term for a woman, is the winner of the 2021 Festival of Slovenian Film with seven Vesna awards.
