Strangers

Lilijana is a lovely lady who copes with loneliness in a unique way.

An evocative journey to a small Slovenian village turns into an enchanting immersion into the collective memory and the backbone of a certain place through stories from the present and the past that converge, intermingle, coexist outside of time, in the plane of the unseen, in the sphere of sentiments. With photographs, taken by photographer Stojan Kerbler decades ago, of the village and its residents serving as a guide, the film crafts the portrait of a place through narrations, images, poetry and pure cinematic beauty. It may not be easy to describe how "a tree grows in dreams" in just a handful of words, but you can be sure that seeing it is nothing less than an experience beyond a mere viewing, something you experience like a dream or a caress, like a song that glides from your ears straight to your heart.

Stane and Bojan are two young people, working at a kiosk. They try to break the boredom and repetitiveness of their daily routines by observing their potential customers, trying to guess their consumer appetites and by doing drugs. When a junkie breaks into the kiosk and disturbs their daydreaming, the potential for a change ensues.
