A great movie about growing up.

V leru it's not a movie about Student life. It's about being lost. Being in a position where you cannot decide where to go. But you will have to, sooner or later.

Dizzy is a man about 28 years old. Maybe 30. He has a girlfriend, but he hasn't got a job, he's not willing to get a degree, although he's not stupid, as he knows that some f......k volcano in the middle of nowhere is called Popocatepetle.

He' trapped in between choosing something (getting a job, getting married), but he's not convinced that this is something he really wants.

So he drinks with his fellow friends and follows football and wanders around - doing nothing. Then a freshman comes in his students room. 18-year old, who comes from some Trbovlje village. He looks naive and he's trying to become an electrician.

However the young roommate also has a girlfriend. A pregnant one! And this makes Dizzy, who is 30 think about what he wants to do with his life. So the story is about growing up. About taking responsibility and building something - a family, which gives a man, who feels lost, the sense of it's own worth.
