Synopsis
Riki is not too sympathetic towards his sister’s boyfriend Ado. Nevertheless, Riki puts up with Ado as they are soon to be brothers-in-law. They also work together in a declining catering company.

Riki is not too sympathetic towards his sister’s boyfriend Ado. Nevertheless, Riki puts up with Ado as they are soon to be brothers-in-law. They also work together in a declining catering company. After their boss sets up a meeting about the reorganisation of the company, all the employees feel there will be layoffs as a “reorganisation“ is just another word for job cuts. Ado blames Melisa for the bad state of the company, his ex-colleague and boss’s ex-girlfriend. The demise of their business started at the same moment she split up with her boss, both personally and professionally. Ado comes up with a plan to save the company: they’ll beat up Melisa and force her to make up with their boss and to return to work with them. All the employees, including Riki, dismiss the plan as totally stupid and senseless. But, even though he has no logical rationale for his business-saving theory, Ado is adamant about seeing his plan through, counting on the passivity of his colleagues. Little by little, Riki is left standing alone against Ado’s plan, torn between a sense of justice and family.

»Igrani film Gym je drama o prevladi agresivne manjšine nad tiho neaktivno večino, kar privede do tragičnega razpleta. Zgodba je izvirna in zanimiva, organsko umeščena v okolje iz katerega prihaja, obenem pa je aktualna, univerzalno boleča in s tem zanimiva tudi za slovenski kulturni prostor. Karakterizacija likov je dosledna, skozi razvejanost pa portretira družbo v širšem smislu. Struktura je čvrsta in jasna, blizu enotnosti časa in prostora. Pripoved je napeta in tekoča, bralca (potencialnega gledalca) drži v nelagodni napetosti in pričakovanju. Konec je močan in nepričakovan, vendar prepričljiv. Odmevnost dela režiserja na avdiovizualnem področju je nesporna. Zastopanost slovenskih avtorjev je velika, direktor fotografije je ugledni snemalec mlajše generacije.V Sloveniji se bosta izvedli tudi postprodukcija slike in zvoka.Odmevnost dela tako glavnega kot slovenskega koproducenta je nesporna, finančni načrt je realističen, podprtost projekta odlična.«
hrvaško: Gym (Bosna i Hercegovina) je projekt bosansko-hercegovačkog redatelja i scenarista Srđana Vuletića koji je režirao nekoliko zapaženih dugometražnih igranih filmova (Ljeto u Zlatnoj dolini, Teško je biti fin), a kao scenarist, među ostalim, napisao tekst za kratkometražni igrani film 10 minuta u režiji Ahmeda Imamovića, nagrađen Europskom filmskom nagradom. U novom radu spaja univerzalne dvojbe i lokalnu društvenu sredinu u priči o dvojici najboljih prijatelja iz jedne tvrtke za dostavu hrane koja se zbog lošeg poslovanja nađe pred propašću. Mozaik elemenata humorne i kriminalističke drame, film je de facto ispitivanje granica loših ljudskih odluka, poglavito u kontekstu pojedinaca, manjine i većine te konformizma kao načina ponašanja. Hrvatski je partner u realizaciji filma Kinorama d.o.o. iza koje je niz domaćih (Zvizdan, serijal o Koku) i međunarodnih uspjeha (Ničije dijete, Bit ćemo prvaci svijeta), dok se hrvatski doprinos realizaciji filma uz dvije sporedne uloge, odnosi na skladateljski rad, osmišljavanje specijalnih efekata te rasvjetu.
