Film from Slovenia, directed by Jan Cvitkovic.
Funeral orator Pero, his mute sister, her besotted car-mechanic boyfriend, the suicidal widower father, and various other relatives, onlookers and passers-by are the collective protagonists of this rural chronicle of love, family, mortality and shattering violence. Making smooth transitions between comic and tragic moods, director Cvitkovic gradually elevates what had previously been something of a raucous-Balkan-comedy-by-numbers to a higher plane. Its cumulative appeal is as dark, warm and enticing as a Slovenian summer's night.
