The Second Act
Druhé Dejství
Olmo Omerzu
Cilie and her spouse Martin, an unrealized translator, are the main protagonists of a final love story which slowly yet consistently loses its ideals. Between the monotony of life and Martin's never to be finished translation of a novel, a story unfolds about a belated honeymoon trip that begins at the moment when in reality everything is already lost. The book that Martin once translated becomes a central motif of the journey: the story of a female hotelier envious of a young couple who arrives at the hotel in the summertime...
