The genetic code forces the human kind to reproduction. The newborn has no choice, it is born into this world not of its own will, and it is raised according to our civilization’s norms as a helpless creature. But what if there were another way...?
The film is produced by Ema Kugler through Zavod ZANK in coproduction with VPK, NUframe, MB Grip and Zvokarna from Slovenia and Big Heart Studio from Czech Republic. The project is supported by the Slovenian Film Center with 110,000 EUR.
The total budget is estimated at 998,000 EUR. At the moment 80% of the budget has been guaranteed with the Zavod Zank contributing 32%, other coproduction companies 37% and the Slovenian Film Center 11% of the total sum, while the remaining 20% still has to be acquired, director and producer Ema Kugler told FNE.
Marko Mandić, Nataša Matjašec-Rošker and Loup Abramovici play the main characters.
Shooting has already started and will last until May 2017. The locations are in Slovenia (Kanin, Črnotiče) and in Croatia (cape Kamenjak), while the interiors will be shot in Studio Viba Film facilities in Ljubljana.
Ema Kugler has received several awards for her multimedia activities and made a number of video films, fine arts installations and performances.
