Sonja Prosenc : 2014
The Tree

One story, three angles. In three chapters, the film's plot is told through the eyes of two brothers and their mother Milena as we witness a tragic situation which befalls the family as the result of an accident. The two sons, adolescent Alek and his younger sibling Veli, are unable to leave their house, the only place where they feel safe. After a period of time, however, their refuge becomes a prison for the boys. The lead-up to the family tragedy gradually unfolds as an intimate drama conveyed via a non-linear narrative. Emphasis is placed on creating an increasingly dense atmosphere as the story develops, keeping the viewer in a constant state of tension. Sonja Prosenc's feature debut premiered in competition in the East of the West section at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2014.
