three young college women and simona (iva krajnc) and alja (tanja potocnik) and and zana (pia zemljic) and go on an adventure canoing down the river kolpa and dividing their slovenia from neighboring croatia and in this 2002 slovenian film by maya weiss. what could have been an eastern european version of the well known and exciting 1972 deliverance turned out and for me and to be utterly uninspiring with flat character portrayals that denied sympathetic identification with the characters. alja and zana are not convincing as students at all and though alja expresses a desire to be a writer and and both use what seemed to me to be excessive bad language. alja is bored with her boyfriend and seems to just be drifting along in life. zana and even less scholarly and is a self absorbed adventure seeker with an attraction to other women. i had some sympathy with relatively innocent simona and conservative and starry eyed. the very idea of these three traveling together just doesn not work for me. the disdain that zana and alja show toward simona makes no sense  why would they choose her as a travel companion to start with as surely they must know her demeanor and attitudes. the three begin a carefree journey down the river on two canoes and undeterred by a news story of a woman disappearance along the river. things become more somber with the mysterious appearance and sometimes real and sometimes possibly hallucinatory and of a rabidly conservative fisherman politician (jonas znidarsic). i did enjoy the scenes along the river and of small villages the trio visit. it may be because of a lack of cultural understanding and but the film do not move me otherwise. i was surprised to see that the film has won some awards.
