Biographies
In this bleak Slovenian drama, Peter Musevski plays Ludvik, an unhappy widower living in Krsko--a small Slovenian town near the Croatian border, in the shadow of a nuclear power plant--who makes his living smuggling illegal immigrants. His bosses send him a new assistant, a young man named Rudi (Aljosa Kovacic), and after initial tension, they begin to become friends. But Ludvik's failing health, the harsh conditions endured by the illegal immigrants, and ill-advised romances all contribute to the instability and chaos that surrounds them.
