Slovenia. Dir. Marko Šantić. 2013, 83 mins. Digital projection. U.S. premiere. With Janko Mandić, Nina Rakovec. Leaving behind the orphanage he has called home for the past nine years, 19-year-old Luka prepares to strike out on his own for the first time, starting with a visit to his father’s grave. But a bombshell revelation throws everything he thought he knew about his family into question. Finding solace only in a budding romance with Ajda, a colleague at the meatpacking plant he works at, Luka soon sees that relationship threatened by a secret within her own family. This hard-hitting Slovenian drama is a bold, emotionally charged portrait of young love under siege.
