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…
