"Alienation." No one knows anyone.But I like it.
In Slovene, the topic of prostitution in the modern city seems to be at the forefront. But the focus is not on the question “How to deal with this evil?” The filmmakers are interested in the question “Why?” A student of Alexandra, she is a very expensive call girl with the nickname Slovenka, first appears to the viewer in her usual environment - a university during the day, an expensive hotel at night and a loaned apartment in the capital. Her life almost worked out - it remained to finish her studies and gradually pay off the loan. And she is, in general, quite a normal balanced girl ... but why prostitution?
Answers begin to emerge when Sasha arrives home for the weekend. The musty atmosphere of the hinterland depresses the heroine more than “working weekdays”. The disfigured faces of former suitors... Mother long ago left his father, who now has two joys - a daughter-smart in the capital and friends in an old rock band. Although rock is just a way to distract ... from the thoughts of death that haunt the father when the daughter is not around.
"For what to live here?" the director asks. Deprived of ideals, the provincials get drunk and go to the big cities. The choice of Alexandra opens endless loneliness. But you can't hide from him in the capital. On the contrary, loneliness becomes the new ideal of life. What's putting pressure on you in the provinces -- all this senseless communication, all this display of feelings -- in the capital becomes irrelevant. If the soul shrunk to the size of the capital's two, then what happens to the body is no longer important.
The final scene at the disco, when the father performs a retro hit, and the daughter on the street quietly sings along - a small ray of hope, the return of Alexandra to himself.
And of course, the big plus is the tense and exciting crime line. The crooked road that led the heroine to the path to himself.
