A Trip

Running time: 85 mins

You can't relive high school and grow up at the same time.

Best friends Ziva, Gregor, and Andrej set out on a road trip through the bewitching Slovenian countryside. Digging into the playful demeanors of their teenage years, the three relive memories of the past, avoiding the truths of their new realities. Andrej, their gay friend, buries his feelings of animosity with wisecracks and mischief. Gregor, a soldier scheduled for deployment to Afghanistan, seems curiously confused about his ideals since joining the army. Ziva, who tells the boys she plans to study abroad next semester, ultimately proves unable to keep up with their facade of ignorance. An enchanting look at the journey of friendship, this film captures the spirit of youth and innocence.
