Everything Is Different

SYNOPSIS

The latest film from Metod Pevec explores the tensions between the old and new ways of doing things in independent, post-Communist Slovenia, centered on a family dispute over an inheritance. The free-spirited but emotionally troubled Frank (Janez Skof), still an idealist about now-discarded socialist ideology, returns home for the reading of his late father's will. His father was a leader in the country's transition to free market enterprise, but Frank suspects that the inheritance money may have been earned through illicit dealings. Frank's capitalist-minded brother Brane (Valter Dragan) believes he has full right to the inheritance and retains lawyers and some of his father's shadier cronies to ensure that he collects it. Meanwhile, the dormant love triangle among the two brothers and Brane's wife Ines (Katarina Cas) comes back to the fore.
