Personal Baggage

2009, Slovenian. Directed by Janez Lapajne.

Director focuses on to contemporary human inability to emphasize. What makes the main protagonist of this film interesting is her selfishness which reflects the general modus vivendi and social atmosphere of the present moment.

Vid is talented but spoiled young man smothered in his affection to the adoring mother and heedless of his aloof father. His grandfather is benevolent but self-important patriarch and his new girlfriend is a creature of voluptuous innocence wrestling with the torment of a dysfunctional home. These are main characters in a story of strained love and spiraling desire. Characters reveal inexorable issues- baggage that they brought with them. Ultimately this baggage becomes a ruinous burden.
