Cent'anni

SI, I, PL, SRB, A 2024, 86 min., OmeU, Director: Maja Doroteja Prelog

After Blaž survived the diagnosis of an incurable illness, he undertakes his own, exhausting Giro d'Italia to celebrate his victory. He is accompanied by his partner, the filmmaker Maja Doroteja Prelog. It is intended to document the triumphant bike ride. What was originally planned as a trip from the Dolomites to Sicily and was intended to show an act of self-empowerment soon turns into a journey of the couple to themselves. The focus shifts and Maja's camera increasingly focuses on their perception and their needs. Directly in front of the camera lens, the relationship between the two slowly unravels - and we witness a courageous examination of one's own self and the question of what it really means to be together.

Cent'anni is an emotional roller coaster ride full of touching confessions and poetic images in the midst of breathtaking natural landscapes - an unfiltered testimony of love and change.

The debut film of the Slovenian Director Maja Doroteja Prelog (*1988) was screened at numerous international film festivals, for example in Sarajevo, Los Angeles and Cannes, and received several awards, including: the audience award for best film at the Trieste Film Festival or the Docs-in-Progress Award for best documentary at Cannes Docs.
