Paper Planes (Na Papirnatih Avionih) (Slovenia, 1967)

Directed by Matjaž Klopčič

A photographer tired of the jaded milieu of an early advertising age under socialism romances a young ballerina.  The Triple Bridge, fountains and rooftops of the Slovenian capital, Ljubljana, and the ski resorts of the Slovenian Alps are the dreamy 1960s backdrops for this great love story.  Disarmingly believable as the inexperienced naif, Snežana Nikšić, as the ballerina, steals the show.
