Charlie, a professional shop-window decorator, coincidentally gets involved in debt-enforcement trade, but at the end of the day he becomes the director of the first Slovene pornographic film that he decides to shoot with a couple of his friends. His ex-school-mate John, who runs an illegal brothel at the city outskirts, offers to provide his girls for the female parts. Frank, whom Charlie has always disliked, is the third member of the crew. At the auditions Charlie meets Kalinka, a Russian girl who works as a prostitute in Slovenia. At the same time a group of Montenegrin convicts, who have unsettled accounts with John, escape from a prison.
After a short period of film-enthusiasm, Charlie becomes depressed and begins to doubt that they could ever produce a good, classy XXX rated film. John sends Kalinka to cheer him up, but Charlie falls in love with her. When the crew begin filming the Montenegrins arrive...
"The protagonist, Charlie, is a luckless guy, one of those who are not happy unless they are unhappy. He reconciled with his fate. Therefore the intrusion of unexpected happiness into his life is a premonition of even greater unhappiness. To such people Fate is never favourable, happiness always defies them.
The films I create are usually simple stories, narrated by radically reduced expressive means. They include my favourite symbols - laughter and tears." Damjan Kozole
