»The script was written because of Frank. Although merely a fictional character, the man almost literally knocked on my door one day. He did not beat around the bush, and he had a clear idea that I should make a film about him. Frankly, he was enveloped in the scent of alcohol and barroom stories« (Metod Pevec, director). Metod Pevec received the Golden Arena for directing the coproduction at the Pula Film Festival, while Marko Brdar, director of photography, received the Iris award from Association of Slovenian Cinematographers for the best cinematography.

SYNOPSIS

The unexpected inheritance from their father sparks a dispute between Frank, a rebel who still swears by the solidarity and »old« socialist values, and his brother Brane, a classic transition profiteer. While Frank is tracking the source of money which his late father, a protagonist of the Slovenian independence, made through shady dealings, Brane resorts to his lawyers and a network of his father’s »cronies«, who are no strangers to mafia tactics. Brane’s wife Ines, who has in fact loved with Frank all along, finds caught between the two brothers once more.
