Shakespea Re di Napoli
Zoran's life, including a pothead roommate, an unavailable ex-girlfriend and a job on reality TV, turns upside-down when his intolerable father is diagnosed with terminal illness and he is committed to help him through his final weeks. ZORAN (35) is a chronically fatigued night shift worker on a reality program, where he watches participants sleep on around fifty monitors. After his shift ends, in one of his morning attempts to fall asleep, Zoran's already light sleep is interrupted by a phone call from his estranged father VESA (60), who has cancer. Zoran and Vesa go from one doctor to the next, through the institutional chaos of the public and private healthcare systems. Although he is fully committed to helping his father, Zoran by no means accepts the difficult truth - that Vesa is dying. Instead, and to escape from this, Zoran directs his emotions towards his neglected love life, seeking fulfillment in two equally impossible relationships - with his ex-girlfriend and now someone else's fiancé Tamara and Ema, a reality program starlet. When both adventures end in disaster and Vesa's condition worsens considerably, Zoran finally begins to reconcile with the inevitable and embarks on a seemingly pointless journey to a monastery, where Vesa wants to confess for the first time in his life. In an uncomfortable drive in a Yugo Florida down the highway, Zoran finally meets his father, an equally insecure man who also desires closeness. He receives long-awaited affection from him. And he sends him off.
