The content of Slovo is about memories and loss
The movie is about Lovra, who is tired and sad fills the bathtub with water. He stares at the drop of water slowly trickling from the faucet. When it splashes in the water, it reminds him of the day he first fished with his grandfather, how his grandfather hooked him by the chin, how they went fishing in a car with a hole in the undercarriage, how he first caught a fish and saw it die . Memories come alive to the point that they overwhelm the hero's present. The film focuses on memories and coping with loss.
The film Slovo will open the competition program in December of the 13th Animateka International Animated Film Festival, and already in November you will be able to watch it as a prequel to Night Birds.
