There is no other
Translation: Dragana Evtimova
An original and comical story about complex human relationships in modern times. After breaking up with his longtime girlfriend, Matjaž falls into severe depression. But after a while, she decides that the way to her heart leads through another relationship. That is, relationships. But the plan turns out to be more complicated than he expected. He embarks on an odyssey of "wanderings" in one evening with a number of girls in famous places in Ljubljana, but also in the former Yugoslavia. Meetings and women are very different, but Matjaž always comes to the same conclusion: that there is no other like his ex. Krečič created a metaphor of love in today's society, but also a model of a hidden misogynist typical of the new millennium, which she put on a plate for us.
