Synopsis by Mark Deming

A filmmaker goes on the run rather than complete his latest picture in this offbeat comedy from Macedonian auteur Ivo Trajkov. A director (Trajkov) has grown weary of battling his producer for control of his latest project and decides to hit the road, borrowing his girlfriend's auto and stealing the production bankroll from the project's financiers. While at first the director claims to have a grand scheme for his ill-gotten gains, his plans take a serious left turn when he meets a strange young woman (Madla Zimova) and an eccentric hitchhiker (Karel Zima). En route, real director Trajkov occasionally interrupts the story of fictive director rajkov with bits of tongue-in-cheek advice for aspiring movie makers in the audience. Movie was screened as an official entry at the 2008 Finale Pilzen Film Festival.
