Zgodba o uspehu (2015)

In twelve sequences we follow the story of Vlado, retired guard for his disability. With his miserable pension he barely lives under the poverty threshold. Once he was a hero. He prevented a bank robbery and suffered injury. Now his life is hard. He's about 60 years old and limps on his right leg. He lives alone in a constant existential fear without a solution. He's running short of food, heating, money for payment of the household expenses, but he bears with it somewhat peacefully as if he resigned himself to his fate. Of course, he only appears calm. Vlado's fears and actions show his distress: hearing of strange voices, moving bills around the house, buying discount food, collecting sprigs in the park - But despite his own shortage he remains good-hearted, caring for people, giving food to cats and beggars. He's at his wit's end until he accidentally finds a newspaper with an article about a luxury prison. That's where he spots a solution. His passiveness changes into action. He's certain that crime will solve all his troubles. He robs a bank and goes to the luxury prison. At least one of his dreams came true, while he's not able to fulfill other dreams due to the social circumstances, his own character and his disability. As a human being, he doesn't have what he wishes for, so he has to like what he has.
