Synopsis
An unexpected inheritance from their father sparks a dispute between Frank, a rebel who still swears by old socialist values, and his brother Brane, a classic transition profiteer. While Frank is tracking the source of money, which his late father, one of the key protagonists of the Slovenian independence, made through shady dealings, Brane wants to lay claim to it through his lawyers and a network of his father’s “cronies”, who would even resort to mafia tactics if need be. Brane’s wife Ines, who has, in fact, loved Frank all along, finds herself caught between the two brothers once more.

The script was written because of Frank. Although merely a fictional character, the man almost literally knocked on my door one day. He did not beat around the bush, and he had a clear idea that I should make a film about him. Frankly, he was enveloped in the scent of alcohol and barroom stories. Even before I could express any doubts, he started talking about his brother, his father, his love, music as well as himself. He seduced me into believing him and writing down his stories…

Crnohumorne trilerske drame sa snažnom sociokritičkom notom jedna su od konstanti (nezavisne) američke kinematografije, no na ovim prostorima jedva da postoje, premda društvo post-tranzicije sa sumnjivim tajkunima i njihovim još sumnjivijim poslovima nudi materijala za takve filmove. Prepoznao je to Metod Pevec u filmu “Budimo iskreni“ i složio naizgled potentan složenac drame i trilera s nijansama crnog humora koje u krvavom finalu postaju i crvene. Žanrovi se neprimjetno miješaju, ulaze i izlaze jedan iz drugoga. Likovi su solidno razvijeni, filmski i ljudski, osobito protagonist koji se znade zagledati i pravo u kameru, kako ne bismo zaboravili da je “Budimo iskreni“ ipak film. Opisani ambijent je, pak, filmičan i stvaran, u njemu se zna zrcaliti i hrvatski svagdan. Da ovo ipak nije ponajprije samo slovenska priča koja će najviše rezonirati na domaćem tlu, tek onda u regiji ili šire, potvrđuje friški podatak kako je fond Eurimages odobrio Pevecovu projektu sredstva za sufinanciranje u iznosu od dvjesto tisuća eura, tj. angažman najveće slovenske zvijezde Katarine Čas (Scorseseov “Vuk s Wall Streeta“, “Danny Collins“ s Alom Pacinom) kao predvodnice glumačke ekipe.
