Parasol Peccadillo Store

Synopsis

Krsko, a small industrial town near the southern Slovenian border with Croatia. The only Slovenian nuclear power plant is based at the outskirts of the city.

Ludvik, a former national speedway champion and widower, transports illegal immigrants every night from Croatia to the Italian border. His boss employs the young and inexperienced Rudi to serve as his assistant.

On the first drive Ludvik challenges Rudi a few times; a beautiful Macedonian girl is only one of their victims. Rudi experiences a moral dilemma. After returning home to Krsko, they get drunk together and Ludvik accepts Rudi as one of his own. They go to races together and almost every night transport immigrants from all over the world past the nuclear plant. Rudi quickly gets rid of his moral reservations; he becomes tough and relentless.

The hope for better future, which Europe represents to the refugees, often turns into serious human drama through the depiction of the miserable existence of their "guides"...
