3 Winters is a refined and touching saga about the Kos family and its history. The play will have its premiere on April 21, 2016 at the MGL (City Theater of Ljubljana).
There are really three winters: 1945, 1990 and 2011. Key events relate to the end of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and they extend beyond the rise and fall communism to transition, democracy and enters the European Community. We follow the events through the destinies four generations of women, who grew up in completely different worlds in the same ivy-covered house in Zagreb, once a luxurious villa built during the monarchy, but later nationalized and divided. Klobčič begins to unravel in 2011, when the whole family gathers in the house for Lucija's wedding and learns that Lucija's groom, a new-age rich man with suspicious dealings, is supposed to buy the house.

Women, with every generation more independent and educated, are the driving force of the family. With great sacrifice, courage and unbreakable will they defy all trials, which stand in their way. They adapt, they rebel, they argue, they love and they hate. And with all this, they grow and pass on their experience and wisdom to their daughters.
The game is fresh, thought out to the last detail and that's it throbbing with life. We do not follow the events chronologically, but we are constantly jumping back and forth in time: in the year of the end of the Second World War, in the time just before the breakup of Yugoslavia and before the beginning of the bloody Balkan Sea, and again in today's turbo-capitalist world.
