Lover, Not a Fighter
7.5
Andrej has a secret plan – to see no one, meet no one, only talk to his grandma and not climb high trees while being drunk. Then he unexpectedly encounters Miša, at whom he previously tried to smile 17 times while being drunk at parties. He never remembered the outcome as he was always too drunk, but not today. Today he is sober. Andrej and Miša start to talk and over the glass of Fanta find an interest in each other. The fight for their young and tender love begins.
