Dusha (Polona Juh) is rapidly approaching her 30th birthday and is taking stock. The only romantic relationship she has is with a married veterinarian who has no intention of leaving his wife, her closest friends are her straight-talking mother, the telephone astrologer and the drunk upstairs; she’s sad, lonely, her cat has left her, and she’s being stalked. Dusha’s family is dysfunctional: her father ran off to India and her mother chooses sexual partners based on their practical skills. When the stalker’s behaviour escalates to performing odd jobs around the house, Dusha decides to confront him about his actions. —SBS Film

Director

Metod Pevec

Metod Pevec (b. 1958, Ljubljana) graduated in philosophy and comparative literature from the School of Art in his home town. At that time he was already known as an actor (cast several times by the renowned Žika Pavlović). As a writer he has tried radio play, screenplay, story, and novel. One of these lent itself to the creation of his feature debut as a director, Carmen (1995). He wrote as well the script for his second feature, Beneath Her Window. In addition, he shoots shorts and documentaries for Ljubljana Television. —KVIFF
