An outstanding debut feature film. »Štante's film never slips into the clichés of films about troubled adolescents, instead offering an original take on the genre. Its emotional power will resonate long after the closing credits« (curator and film critic Dimitri Eipides, Toronto International Film Festival). Film director and screenwriter Darko Štante gained first-hand insight into the lives and mindsets of young offenders as a social worker in a youth detention centre in Slovenia. The result is an unpolished story that has enjoyed a successful international festival run and distribution since its world premiere in Toronto. As the author himself said, he wanted the film not to come across as artificial and polished, or to evoke lamentation and judgement, and the actors Timon Šturbej and Matej Zemljič have contributed the lion's share to this. Both of them were awarded the Vesna awards for best supporting actor and best actor at the Festival of Slovenian Film.
