Overview
Every year, hundreds of women develop relationships with prisoners. They fall under the charms of killers, petty criminals, rapists and crooks.

This documentary takes a look at their lives and the reasons that make them pursue a relationship with a criminal.

Every Good Story Is a Love Story
A film about a theatre performance and four very notable people behind it: writer and director D. Jovanović, actress M. Zupančič and actors R. Polič and B. Cavazza. This is a story of a love triangle and of a multi-layered, entirely overt intertwining of protagonists’ public artistic personas and their personal lives. The film documents a 4-month process of the making of a theatre piece from the first rehearsal to the opening night, at the same time uncovering the intimate lives of the artists and telling a universal story of the relationship between the real and the imagined, a story of personal and public perceptions of art.
