Synopsis

A Slovenian story about how the successful transition from socialism, as well has its dark side; many factories were ruined, workers became unemployed, and those employed are very often victims of ruthless exploitation. When I learned about what women have to sacrifice in order to keep their jobs in a factory in Štajerska, I decided to make this film. It is about the life of a seven-year-old Jana.

A Slovenian story about how the successful transition from socialism, as well has its dark side; many factories were ruined, workers became unemployed, and those employed are very often victims of ruthless exploitation. When I learned about what women have to sacrifice in order to keep their jobs in a factory in Štajerska, I decided to make this film. It is about the life of a seven-year-old Jana. While her father and mother are working, Jana is alone as she has smallpoxes and cannot go to school. Being frolicsome just like all children, she goes out and rambles around towards rising dangers that are threatening her.
