Hidden People

SI, RS

Guti (35) and Sig (50) wake up beaten, hungover, and handcuffed together on a riverbank near Ljubljana. Sig, obviously a tourist, suffers from memory loss and can’t remember where he is from and why he is - as he thinks - stuck in Slovakia. Together with Guti, they embark on a journey to recover Sig’s passport and identity and, in the meantime, work on Guti’s dream project: a river raft that will hopefully rebuild Guti’s life that has fallen victim to bad divorce, failed bank loans, vicious bureaucracy, and many, many bad neighbors. Hidden People is a fairy-tale dramedy about new beginnings and unexpected friendships that can help us find our place under the sun, even if we must travel 4.000 kilometers to find it.
