Matjaž Ivanišin’s films like to play around, blurring any lines between fiction and reality by playing with dramatisation and narrative. They manipulate the spectator, but confuse us with great delicacy. While the stories we tell are the stories we are able to accommodate, it’s also these stories that accommodate us. Inspired by a novel by Zdravko Duša, the filmmaker invited the inhabitants of the village he was filming to take part in the story, each enriching the film. An incarnation of the deceased through the accounts of others that takes the form of a documentary fable.
