Private Project

Skipping Stones

After trying his luck in Berlin, Mitja returns to Slovenia where he is greeted by his boyfriend Bojan. The reunion turns out to be less than ideal as Mitja struggles to tell Bojan a secret that could cost him their relationship. But before he finds the right moment, things quickly get out of hand.

The film deals with the problem of finding the right moment to tell someone close to you a secret that might cost you his or her trust and love. Is there any such thing as the right moment? Is honesty always the best policy if it is bound to trigger a negative response?
