{mosimage} Škafar, who wrote the lyrical and touching script, stated, "The film is about a father and son in his early teenage years who spend one Sunday in nature. They haven't had many contacts in life, and even those few ones were not nice. In nature, where time runs in all directions, they fall in love. But Monday is a new day ..."

Škafar is one of the founders of Slovenian Cinémathèque and was its programme department director form 1994 to 1999. In 2004 he co-founded the Isola Cinema festival (www.isolacinema.org/en).
