A historical observational documentary that gives a fresh and unbiased insight into the spirit of the time and the everyday life of people in Slovenia at the crossroads of history. Thanks to an extensive campaign of collecting the never-before-seen archival and home video footage, the film puts viewers in an audio-visual time machine and takes them to the chaotic period before, during and after Slovenia’s independence.

Director’s statement:
»A vital part of our film was the campaign to find home videos, which did an even better job revealing the spirit of the time. Back then, people made videos in the way documentaries are made today – observing without commenting. «
