“Precisely executed … As in his previous works, Marko Naberšnik is capable of pulling off an epic story unfolding over an extended period of time and paying a lot of attention to period details, even when working on a tight budget.”

Marko Stojiljković, Cineuropa

Despite her young age, a woman faces a lifetime’s worth of personal upheaval in Whites Wash at Ninety. Based on Bronja Žakelj’s Kresnik Award-winning autobiographical novel, this film from Marko Naberšnik (Slovenia, Australia, and Tomorrow the World, EUFF 2018) explores how history leaves its mark on individual lives. Not only does Bronja (Lea Čok Rajčič) experience the death of family members and a battle with personal illness, she does so at a time of historical change, including the fall of the USSR. Moving between humour, tenderness, and regret, Naberšnik’s film is both a family saga and a reflection on the time we feel is taken away from us by forces beyond our control.
