Krasni dnevi

Dušan Šauta, a widower spending his old age in a retirement home, has his routine interrupted by a visit from two detectives asking about his daughter Leja, a dramaturge at the Urban Theatre who is preparing a production of Beckett's Happy Days. It seems she was involved in her lover's family tragedy, which is starting to fill the tabloids, and she cannot be reached by the police or by her father. Worried, Dušan starts looking for her himself and learns secret details of her life. To find out her part and how he can help, father and daughter must come to terms with a family past that has kept them cool and distant. The tense story is told mainly from the two of them, interwoven with memories of the late wife and the grandfather.
