Dual

The paths of two young women cross one evening in Ljubljana. Tina, a Slovene, and Iben, a Dane, are of a similar age and both are passing through some turning point in their lives. They open up to one another and a close bond soon forms between them. The film is in no hurry to name what that bond is; it looks at how near two people can come to each other inside a single night. The account wanders the city through the dark hours and lets conversations run without cutting them. That the parting is known from the start puts everything said into a different weight. Nina Rakovec and Mia Jexen appear in Nejc Gazvoda’s hundred and two minute Slovenian film, completed in 2013.
