Synopsis
Guti (35) and Sig (50) wake up beaten, hungover, and handcuffed together on a riverbank near Ljubljana. Sig, obviously a tourist, suffers from memory loss and can’t remember where he is from and why he is - as he thinks - stuck in Slovakia. Together with Guti, they embark on a journey to recover Sig’s passport and identity and, in the meantime, work on Guti’s dream project: a river raft that will
Guti (35) and Sig (50) wake up beaten, hungover, and handcuffed together on a riverbank near Ljubljana. Sig, obviously a tourist, suffers from memory loss and can’t remember where he is from and why he is - as he thinks - stuck in Slovakia. Together with Guti, they embark on a journey to recover Sig’s passport and identity and, in the meantime, work on Guti’s dream project: a river raft that will hopefully rebuild Guti’s life that has fallen victim to bad divorce, failed bank loans, vicious bureaucracy, and many, many bad neighbors. Hidden People is a fairy-tale dramedy about new beginnings and unexpected friendships that can help us find our place under the sun, even if we must travel 4.000 kilometers to find it.

Relevant Awards
The award for Best Actor in a Leading Role goes to Ólafur Darri Ólafsson for his convincing performance that endows the dramedy Hidden People with a demonstration of the complexity of human intimacy. In the film, Ólafsson gives a subtle performance as a man who has lost his footing, skilfully manoeuvring between humour and tragedy while maintaining a consistent, precise acting style. With his unobtrusive presence, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson builds a strong emotional bond between his character and the audience.

Skriti ljudje je ironična zgodba o maloštevilnih narodih (Slovenci, Islandci) in številčno »velikih« narodih v Evropi, o nepričakovanih povezavah med ljudmi, ki s skupnimi močmi najdejo svoje mesto pod soncem, na njem vztrajajo in se borijo. Zgodba o zavedenih in zmedenih posameznikih, do skrajnosti podvrženih manipulaciji, ki v družbi želijo zapustiti cono somraka, kjer se ljudje medsebojno »žrejo«. Zgodba namenoma ponuja naiven pogled in politično stališče, da bi stvari lahko bile boljše in namenoma izziva resnobnost in brezizhodnost trenutka, v katerem živimo. Na intimnem nivoju gre za zgodbo o malih, nevidnih ljudeh, neprilagojenih posameznikih z obrobja družbe in sodobnega sveta, ki je svet totalitete neoliberalnega kapitalizma. Čeprav so junaki čustveno in eksistencialno ujeti v svoja življenja, kljub temu preko ljubezni, prijateljstva ter nepokornosti najdejo izhod in pot naprej. Duhovita in subverzivna vizija zahodne družbe in nas vseh, ki gledalcu ponuja pogled iz povsem novega zornega kota. Projekt odlikuje izjemna družbena odgovornost, ki se je zavedata tako scenarist kot režiser.
