Synopsis

A tragical-comedy about unusual people in a remote village Prekmurje at a time when rock ’n’roll was emerging in the 1960s. Midget, Düplin appears through the beautiful village flower beds. Soon he meets Breza, a young man living with his fortune teller mother, and stays at their place. Breza who is a rock and roll enthusiast, performs rock and roll music at a public festival with his electric guitar. But unlike his competitors a traditional gipsy band that performs ethnic popular music, the public’s response to his music is disappointing. Instead, he manages to conquer the heart of the village belle Silvija. Silvija is the daughter of a wealthy emigrant to Switzerland, who sent his daughter back home to find a husband with healthy roots. Tractor, Love & Rock ’n’ Roll based on Feri Lainsˇcˇek’s original story, Vankosˇtanc tells the story of tradition and modernity through the symbols and metaphors of gypsy music, rock and roll and tractors. The second feature directed by Branko Djuric who starred in the 2002 Academy Award winning feature, No Man’s Land, and is also a musician in‘Bombaj Sˇ tampa’, a rock band based in Sarajevo, he gives an excellent performance as Breza. Through breathtaking images and unique characters, this film presents an interesting view on how rock and roll settled into a rural village in Slovenia during the 1960s. (Chung Woochung) ​​
