Paradise

Seventeen-year-old Iva is in the process of coming to terms with the death of her mother. Influenced by this deep personal loss and by the discovery that she didn't know everything about her mother, she slowly immerses herself into a strange, almost dreamlike world far from reality...

In this black comedy drama, we meet a seemingly perfect family consisting of Olivia, Alexander and their daughter Agata. With the arrival of 25-year-old Julian in their home, their lives are turned upside down and their dysfunctional relationships are revealed. Redemption through humour explores the theme of emotionally drained elites and places it in the context of contemporary social issues.

A family finds itself in a dead-end situation. They are only safe behind the walls of their own house and yard. As time vanishes from their home, the shelter slowly turns into a prison. However, nothing can keep the children from dreaming and yearning to be free and the urge to make a decision seems inevitable.

Trigrad is a remote village in the Julian Alps, where the main wealth is the forest. Wood is not only the foundation of the wood industry, on which the well-being of the village depends, but it also has a higher significance. It is a place where mysterious and sacred powers hide. In this mystical environment, we follow the story of the main protagonist Crt, who left his native mountain village as a child and returned after many years of absence as a successful architect to sell the forest he inherited from his late father. On his return, the main character encounters unusual events, and the line between reality and imagination is increasingly blurred. With the new findings, it faces a key dilemma, namely whether to sell the forest or not.
