ficha de la película] (2018), a movie that premiered at Toronto and enjoyed a long and fruitful festival run afterwards, has begun the principal-photography phase for his next feature, The Lost Son. The shoot, taking place on location around Ljubljana and in Trieste, Italy, should last for 30 days, according to the schedule.
The Lost Son tells a story about police investigator Andrej, who encounters his long-lost brother Kristian during an intervention in a case of domestic abuse, where the latter is the perpetrator. Andrej left the family home, dominated by their abusive father, 12 years prior and severed all contact with his family. Now, he makes an effort to help Kristian, risking his professional career in process.
The script, written by the filmmaker himself, was developed at the ScriptTeast and EAVE workshops. Regarding his directorial vision, Štante said: “I am wondering if the cycle of violence, running from one generation into the next, making the victim become the perpetrator, can be broken. Despite the heavy topic, I am trying to make a film that can communicate with a wide audience, spreading the discussion further.”
In the lead role of Andrej, the audience will be able to see Jure Henigman, recently seen in a number of Slovenian films, such as Wake Me [+lee también:
