    PORTOROZ: The protagonist of this Slovenian love story, written and edited by Marko Šantić, is 19-year old Luka, who is leaving the orphanage where he has spent his last 9 years after his mother and relatives abandoned him. His greatest wish is to visit the grave of his father, who died when he was still very young.

    He gets a job in a factory where he meets Ajda, an energetic and happy-go-lucky girl, and falls for her. Full of new energy and plans, he gathers courage to face his mother, which leads to a shocking discovery – his father is apparently still alive. Shaken, he seeks refuge with Ajda, but soon finds out that she too has a dark secret.

    The romantic drama is both an intimate study of relationships and bonds among people and a portrait of a young generation that is expected to act adult and be responsible, although it has never been allowed and offered support in processing all the fears and insecurities of growing up.

    The film was produced by RTV Slovenija in co-production with NuFrame with a budget of €580,000.
