Synopsis
In Slovenia, Yugoslavia back then, during the years of 1965-1971, an avant-garde movement known as group OHO inspired many artists, including Marina Abramovič. OHO movement was in fact a freedom movement.
OHO is categorized as one of the most interesting, complex and important examples of avant-garde art and counterculture of the 1960s in ex-Yugoslavia and beyond, in Central and Eastern Europe. The OHO documentary, with its rich archival material, aims to comprehensively capture the phenomenon of the OHO movement and group for the first time. At the same time, it aims to capture the spirit of a time marked by socialism, hippie and rock culture, the Vietnam War, the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia, student protests around the world, and the Cold War. A time that we thought was dead and gone but is dangerously returning to its darkest dimensions. In addition to providing historical illumination, the film will follow OHO's ideas via its members’ stories throughout time – all the way to the present day, to explore the relevance of OHO for the present time.

Film razkriva delovanje skupine OHO, od njegovih začetkov do razpada. Vsebini manjka nekaj več inovativnosti v posnetem materialu danes, saj so OHO filmi igrivi, eksperimentalni in presenetljivi sami po sebi še danes. Tema je relevantna zaradi pomena skupine takrat in danes, močan dramaturški moment v filmu pa bi bilo ponovno srečanje članov po toliko letih od nastanka in delovanja skupine.
Glede na odmevnost in revolucionarnost skupine OHO v njenem času bi bilo upravičeno pričakovati določeno svojevrstnost narativnega pristopa in odmik od klasičnih izjav/ intervjujev ter iskanje bolj sveže filmske govorice. Skratka slog, ki bi bolje sovpadal z vsebino in zgodbo OHOjevcev.
Pričakovana privlačnost za slovenski prostor bi bila ob dobri in sveži filmski izvedbi kar precejšnja, saj je ta čas kljub odmiku še prisoten med nami.
