With its fresh screenwriting and directing approach, Thanks for Sunderland shows the Slovenian society through two modern phenomenas: on the one hand the main character is Johan, an honest old school worker on the brink of extinction, and on the other hand the story is connected with the rise of a contemporary star. »Thanks for Sunderland has entertained us and at the same time it touched us,« wrote the jury of the Festival of Slovenian Film (2012), when awarding the film with Vesna for the best feature film.

SYNOPSIS
