Dedič

A psychotherapist, divorced, apathetic and weary of a routine in which patients have been replaced by clients for whom therapy is a status activity, is finally visited by someone who really needs help. Stane Lavtižar, deported as a child in the war and a former camp prisoner, tells him his story before anyone else, and together they open a letter sealed for many years. Stane has a rich inheritance, but its price is high: his life is marked by the green bags in which hospital staff put the belongings of the dead. Both men find refuge in sport, both have received green bags, both hold down their anger at an unjust life, and as the frozen therapist listens to Stane, he begins to hear himself too.
