Good Times, Bad Times

Life, death, regrets, mistakes, and all that we look at when life is nearing its end, in a new film by award-winning Croatian director Nevio Marasović.

While sitting in a restaurant that serves as a waiting room to the other world, a tired old man observes the guests who represent him and his closest family during significant moments of his life. The old man is forced to objectively witness these events from the sidelines, acting as a judge and jury of a life of wrong decisions. 

Slovenian actor Radko Polic played his last role in this film, which follows the life story of an elderly gentleman and brings together numerous well-known actors from the region.
