Synopsis
Bako decides to seek treatment for alcoholism in a psychiatric hospital. There he meets Medea, a drug addict, and Drago, a naive and good-natured chess-loving psychiatric patient. A domineering, sharp-minded head physician at the hospital organizes a bizarre “Olympics.” The protagonists form a team named Hotel Alcohol, and after their defeat, they leave the hospital and set off on a journey toward the sea.

From early on, my life has been quite closely intertwined with people with disabilities, alcoholics, psychiatric patients, drug addicts and “addicts” of all kinds. In this film I want to bring the audience closer to that world and demystify it in a serious way, that will, however, be interlaced considerably with comic elements. A demystifying of any taboo can only take place through the prism of intelligent humour. Condemning others is running away from the essence and running away from oneself at the same time, approaching those who are “different”, and the different can be an act of getting closer to the essence of things in this world.

hrvaško: Scenarij "Hotel Alkohol" Jana Cvitkoviča donosi duboko emotivnu i slojevitu priču o životnim izazovima. Cvitkovič, poznati slovenski redatelj i scenarist, vješto razvija likove Bake, Medeje i Draga, čineći ih punokrvnim i životnim, s kojima se lako identificirati. Dramaturška dosljednost i uvjerljivi dijalozi dodatno naglašavaju emocionalni dojam priče. Tema alkoholizma, narkomanije i psihičkih bolesti je suvremena i relevantna, a scenarij suptilno integrira ove elemente, donoseći inovativnost i autentičnost. Redateljska vizija Jana Cvitkoviča jasno vodi likove kroz emotivna iskustva i izazove, stvarajući uvjerljivu i autentičnu atmosferu. Njegov inovativni pristup istražuje kompleksnost ljudskog iskustva, duboko involvirajući gledatelja kroz pažljivo postavljene scene. Plan promocije i distribucije je vrlo kvalitetan. Novi Cvitkovičev film ima izuzetan festivalski potencijal.

Največja odlika scenarija je prežetost s človečnostjo. Občutljivi odnosi, upi in sanje na rob odrinjenih posebnežev so podani z občutkom za (so)človeka. Hotenja in hrepenenja osrednjih treh filmskih oseb so univerzalna. Relevantni problematiki duševnih stisk in odvisnosti sta predstavljeni z izvirno in blagodejno duhovitostjo. Spretno nizanje prizorov, z njihovimi notranjimi dramaturgijami vred, priča o tem, da je scenarist prekaljen opazovalec življenja, ki zna pisati za film. Scenarij ne zdrsne v sentimentalnost, na koncu pa ničesar ne zapira; junake pusti v trenutku, ko jim je še naprej dovoljeno sanjati, kar lahko gledalcu po ogledu filma pomembno »podaljša« njegovo sobivanje s filmskimi junaki. Lucidna celota predstavlja obet za zelo privlačen film, tako za slovenske obiskovalce kinematografov kot za pomembnejše mednarodne festivale. Ob ustrezni realizaciji bi film lahko bil deležen tudi mednarodne distribucije.

Scenarij za Hotel Alkohol je od zadnjega branja komisije naredil velik korak naprej - iz včasih brezsmiselne in privatizmov polne komedije je postal trpka, a še vedno humorna drama, ki je umeščena v realen prostor, se ukvarja z realnimi problemi, projekt je dobil potreben fokus. Zdaj so dogodivščine treh (anti)junakov, ki se borijo vsak s svojimi demoni, hkrati socialna drama in komedija zmešnjav, a scenarist in režiser Jan Cvitkovič je pri vseh elementih ujel pravo mero. Liki nosijo vsak svoje križe in težave, so zelo dobro zamišljeni in vsak od njih ne trpi le od odvisnosti od substanc, ampak se bori z osamljenostjo, z željo biti ljubljen, opažen, pomemben, srečen. Glede na avtorjev renome in izrazito jasno žanrsko pozicioniran film (institucija proti posamezniku) komisija ne dvomi v mednarodno prepoznavnost filma, ravno tako so notranji konflikti likov tako arhetipski, da je univerzalna privlačnost zgodbe skoraj zagotovljena. Komisija želi, da projekt vztraja na tej poti, ki si jo je zastavil in da ne zaide v pretirano situacijsko komiko, s katero seveda ni nič narobe, a bi v tem primeru film zelo hitro pretirano zbanalizirala.
