About Desperado Tonic
L.V. Strocki is a traveling film projectionist in the best years. He is a representative of the first generation who watched partisan films, lived to see the invasion of the television and ended up among vampires. In the coastal region town he is preparing a film projection on the town square and a television team is making a documentary about this event. During the film projection about the heroines and heroes of an occupied town, a Heroine in a seductive outfit comes to see Strocki in his projection booth.
Directed by Hanna Preuss Slak, Zoran Živulović, Varja Močnik, Boris Petkovič, Desperado Tonic leans on a strong ensemble — Ivan Volarič-Feo, Radoš Bolčina, Peter Musevski — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
