Life in Kajzar

Set in a post-WW2 Slovenia, Life in Kajzar delves into the challenges faced by a village primarily engaged in the wine-making business. The narrative focuses on the tensions that arise when peasants, who have claimed land and property after the communist party's rise to power, hold a party. Their gathering is disrupted by a member of the so-called reactionary forces, including kulaks, clergy, and Axis collaborators, highlighting the struggles and conflicts of that era.

The film's runtime is 100 minutes, allowing for an in-depth exploration of its themes and characters. With a cast that includes Bert Sotlar, Maks Furijan, and Lojze Rozman, the performances contribute to the film's engagement with its historical context. France Štiglic's direction brings a unique perspective to the post-war experience, making this title a notable entry in Slovenian cinema of the 1950s.
