Ivan is released a day early from a treatment programme for alcoholics due to a doctors' strike. He returns to his wife Sonja and his sixteen year old son Robi. The first afternoon he spends at home is very pleasant. The next morning Sonja sends Ivan to a shop to get bread and milk. On the way back Ivan runs into Armando, his high school classmate, and through their conversation at a bar, Ivan finds out that long before Sonja became his wife, Armando spent a night with her. Ivan has his first drop of the hard stuff...Kruh in mleko is a bitter-sweet tale of loneliness, estrangement and the glowing embers of love, where there once used to be a fire. Written by Slovenian film fund
Considered one of the best Slovenian movies of the last years, "Kruh In Mleko" just doesn't hold up to its reputation and fame. Directing that hardly ever reaches the viewer makes it quite hard to watch with the fullest attention and the dark story that turns into cheap childish preaching at the very end never get to their destination, so we can only comfort ourselves and say it was an artsy movie. Well, not the best consolation, but I have to at least give much praise to Mr. Cvitkovic's good script and the actors. They hold everything together and make the best out of every line they utter.
All in all worth the time because it's not long. 6/10
