A clever set of interconnected stories drives Lapajne’s (director of the astonishing Rustling Landscapes) engaging latest film. The first storyline concerns a bus driver who finds an abandoned baby, which he keeps while searching for its mother (Tjasa Zeleznik). Next, a beautiful doctor (also Zeleznik) visits a self-pitying paraplegic because she believes her boyfriend caused his accident. Finally, a careless divorced dad faces a life-or-death incident with his son, and loses time when a frightened gas station attendant (yes, Zeleznik again) won't open the pump after hours. Lapajne’s film is a showcase for the multi-talented Zeleznik, who shines in three challenging roles. English sub-titles.
