From the reviews "Slovenians have made fucking few films about love in their history - Cent 'anni, which doesn't pretend that the mad heart can be explained, is one of the best. VERY PRO' /M. Štefančič, jr., Mladina/ 'Cent'anni - or 100 years, as Blaž wants to live to see it - is an intense, continuous emotional rollercoaster that boldly questions what it really means to 'be together' and fearlessly shows everything we have been taught to hide behind four walls, a pretty façade and a garden with a picket fence. /V. Zakonjšek, Dnevnik/

The film will be screened in Slovene with Italian subtitles. Free entry.
