The aimless life of a lonely kleptomaniac takes an unexpected turn for the worse when he steals a bicycle from a mysterious girl who spends her nights fighting crime.

To cut through the mundanity of his night shifts, Rok keeps himself busy by stealing chocolate bars at the gas station where he works. One night, he meets a mysterious girl with severe bruises on her face. She only appears at night, is all about saving crime, and claims to possess super powers. If he wants to meet her again, Rok will have to come up with a cunning plan – so he decides to steal her bike.
Director’s Profile
Luka Marčetić was born in 1985 in Zagreb, Croatia, where he lived until moving to Slovenia by the age of 15. He graduated at the Institute and Academy of Multimedia in Ljubljana where he started experimenting with different formats for various platforms. He created the first Slovenian web series Day of Love, released on YouTube, which he followed with three seasons of Paired Up, a TV series which gained both critical and commercial success. Since then, he made a couple of short films and directed a feature length film in 2016, a local low-budget comedy At Hostar which broke Slovenian box office records and became the most viewed film in Slovenian history. He followed the success with a sequel in 2022.
