Ljubljana is a small city where everybody knows someone you know. The music world is even smaller, with pop singers dominating the scene. Two alternative bands, Persons from Porlock and Koala Voice, have managed to surface against the current and have even begun to receive some international recognition. Their managers, Maša and Eva, have been putting years of time and energy into the band’s success, despite long hours and little recognition. As Maša decides to demand fewer working hours and more cooperation from her band, Eva considers breaking ties with Persons from Porlock, as she sees the band’s future differently than they do their own.
Dynamic film rhythm , based on their energetic music, underlines the bands youthful playfulness and creative lifestyle.
