Sluga – Matija Debeljuh

Intimate and gloomy atmosphere with the actors, who in an attempt to establish a complex work on the stage, trapped in a tourbolant relationship in order to show the archaicness of the story, an old opera from the end of 1890 and finally to interpret the tragic act. The relationship between the process of working in the theater, and the attempt to establish that work as a final, separate film. The actors on the stage try to bring the feelings of attachment and affection closer to each other, as in the original story. But in the end all that is not possible because one of the actors is just a fictional character.
