I have seen "A Trip" on this year's LIFFE festival in Ljubljana and was more then pleasantly surprised. While your average slovenian film is not bad, it certainly isn't something as surprising and fresh as A Trip. The actors are amazing at portraying a wide range of emotions, the direction is on point and the locations are truly beautiful. While filming on location in Slovenia is usually a quick way to audience's hearts, for slovenians love to see the beauty of their country on the big screen, A Trip uses locations a a gorgeous background, not the cornerstone of a story. The story itself, while a simple one, touches a viewer's heart in an unpretentious way, it's fun, while being touching and real. It's very easy to identify with it, no matter what part of the world you come from, for it is a discerning portrayal of youth's angst and disappointment about today's society.
