Family Therapy raises the theme of the dysfunctional family in an original, bold and humorous way, placing it in a broader social context. This is a brave and insightful satire that brings a new wave of energy to Slovenian cinema.
Using social satire in a highly intimate way, the screenplay eschews established narrative conventions, moving beyond the safe confines of realism. Here, the poetic breathes with the political, constantly offering space for deeper reflection.
V mediteranski atmosferi Rajase v finih detajlih zrcali odnos mladega para na počitnicah z vsemi malimi nevšečnostmi, v katerih se prepoznamo gledalci in se pravzaprav smejimo sami sebi. Lahkotnost in briljanca filma v vseh segmentih njegove izvedbe –scenarija, kamere, režije, igre. Odlična izvedba celotne ekipe filma odpira naš »periferni vid«.

Nagrado FIPRESCI poklanjamo filmu Drevo.
