The Young Lions: The Fullness of Time

Five members of Mladi levi, a legendary band from the 1960s and 1970s, decided after four decades to make a comeback. The film starts with the first meetings of the five pensioners who want to bring their old hits back to life and get all former band members on board. We follow them through months of preparations and rehearsals, and get an insight into their younger days when through music they were able to form a friendship that achieved what many thought impossible. In November 2014, with considerable attention from the media, they enthralled the audience in Ljubljana with two sold-out concerts.

Directed by Dejan Batoćanin, The Young Lions: The Fullness of Time leans on a strong ensemble — Janez Bončina, Matjaž Deu, Tomaž Habe — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2016.
