Audience-grabbing mystery thriller: Despite the restrictions in the Slovenian series production circus, director Sonja Prosenc remains internationally competitive with "Trigrad."
Currently, series creators in Slovenia receive little time and often even less money from the production pots of local broadcasters. This does not prevent them - just as little as the competition from Serbia and Croatia, for example - from catching up to the internationally applicable standard at breathtaking speed. "Trigrad" by acclaimed Slovenian director and writer Sonja Prosenc is the latest example of this development: Thirty years after leaving it, a man here returns to his (fictional) hometown to sell his inheritance. This, however, borders on an enchanted forest. At least that's what a part of the population tells itself, suspecting supernatural activity behind the repeated disappearances. Between private business interests and widespread superstition, a gripping plot unfolds around the ghosts of the past and their influence on our (regional) present.
