Captain and his Friday

Original title Kapitan in njegov Petek

[mlsid]

The film’s captain is Mirko Bogić, a pioneer and
doyen of sailing in Slovenia, and Friday is his
partner Savina Gorišek. They met as geographers when they were in the second half of their
lives, and this encounter greatly changed their
lives. Mirko is 97 now, and Savina 84, but they
still sail the Bay of Piran. They have been sailing
together for over 40 years. The ethnographic
film introduces the viewers to their everyday life in Piran, where they live in the
premises of the Ljubljana Sailing Club. Their interaction, and especially their sailing together, shows us that old age is not an obstacle to an active life, full of love,
marked by the sea, their closeness and humility.
