ADRIA BLUES

SYNOPSIS


Toni Riff, a rock star from the 80s, who came to Slovenia during the war and married his fan at the time, Sonja, has not moved from a standstill for two decades. He is survived by Sonja, who works on the hotline, while Toni plays Tetris all day. One of her regular telephone customers, hotelier Maks, offers to organize her husband’s performance in his hotel on the Slovenian coast. Sonja convinces Toni to go to the coast for the weekend, but she doesn’t mention the concert to him. When they arrive in front of the Hotel Adria, plastered with posters for the concert, Toni realizes that his wife brought him there under a pretext. He shuts himself in the room and does not respond to Sonya’s requests, who sees this concert as the only way out of his depression.
