Everything That's Wrong with You

Half-sisters from a small coastal town who were never that close are forced by circumstance to share a flat in Ljubljana.

Špela graduated in Art History and has never had a steady job. Unlike her two best friends, who have moved out of Slovenia years ago with no plans to return, she is determined to stay in Ljubljana. When even her longtime boyfriend gets a job abroad she moves back in with her parents and her grandma. But Špela wants to grow up and cut the cord instead of delaying her already well overdue adulthood any longer.

The lives of a wealthy married couple radically change in an instant. While the husband is in critical condition after an accident that occurred under strange circumstances, the wife tries to understand the situation and to salvage what she can… In this constricted, small-scale drama by a renowned Slovenian filmmaker, Pia Zemljič excels in the role of the resourceful wife.

Short Deeds were a challenge for a generation of filmmakers. The project had its rules which had to be followed by the screenwriters, directors and their six teams: three pages of script, action in a pulled-over car with no more than three actors, shot in one day, a twist in the plot, and to be featured in each story – a parting.

The film documents the history of the Slovenian rap music and its relationship to poetry, literature and politics of the present.
