Piran-Pirano

Piran-Pirano tells the story of three individuals and how their destinies are unusually intertwined. Italian Antonio, Bosnian Veljko, and Slovenian Anica face the terror of war as children and each of them become war's victim in their own way. Half a century later their paths cross again and the last days of war, fear, despair, love and inexplicable emotions live again, this time because Antonio returns to Piran to see his place of birth again before he dies. The film is set in a town with two names, one Italian and one Slovenian. with Slovenian one and Italian one, In a town where in a house two old men run into each other, two men who were once joined because of love for one girl, then separated by everything that separated people during World War II in those places: languages, ideologies (fascism, communism), and affiliation to different fighting sides (aggressors or partisans). It was because of love for the same girl that the young partisan could not shoot the young Italian, and it was for the same reason that they parted while running away from partisans. As old men they meet again, but they still do not understand each other. Recalling memories helps both of the men realize that this house, in which the Italian lived as a child and was banished from, and in which the partisan found his second home, actually does not belong to either of them. It is only a house of their many memories, reminding them the only thing left for them is to find "a place of rest". Nevertheless, this is not so much a film of nostalgic past, but so much more about the fundamental question: How to die in peace?
