Slovenian Girl (orig. Slovenka) is a 2009 Slovenian film directed by
Damjan Kozole. Aleksandra, a twenty-three-year-old Slovenian, leads a double life: she is a respectable student and a call girl. The film stars Nina Ivanišin. Slovenian Girl was premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival 2009 and it was released theatrically in more than 30 countries, in US under the title A Call Girl. According to Moving Pictures Magazine, "the film is ultimately a fascinating study of free enterprise in free fall. In this mesmerizing chamber piece, director Damjan Kozole has contrived a new style of narrative to convey a view of capitalist culture at once outrageous and non-judgmental" (Shaz Bennett).

Synopsis

Ljubljana 2008. The time of the Slovenian presidency of the European Union. Aleksandra (Nina Ivanišin) is a 23-year-old English language student. She comes from a small town. Her parents are divorced. No one knows that Aleksandra runs personal ads under the nickname, “Slovenka” (the Slovenian Girl) and that prostitution is her secret source of income. She’s very good at manipulating others (including her father and ex-boyfriend), is an accomplished liar and a bit of a thief. She resents her mother and regards her as being selfish. Her ambition is to escape the banality of her home town and settle in the big city, but her clandestine job leads her to a dangerous encounter with local criminals.

Oreste Jacovacci from Rome and Giovanni Busacca from Milan meet each other during the call to arms at the start of World War I. Although completely different in character, they are united in their lack of idealism and their desire to avoid any danger and get out of the war unscathed. They and a varied group of civilians and fellow soldiers (including the prostitute Costantina, played by Silvana Mangano) go through many ups and downs during their training, battles and rare moments of leave. They are considered "inefficient" due to their limited military valour and so are made message-runners to the staff, a very dangerous job. Having succeeded in their mission, a sudden change in which side hold which trench leaves them in enemy territory, where they are captured by the Austrians wearing Austrian uniforms they had found in a barn.
