Don’t Return the Same Way

Overview

The illusion of order finally collapses as Metod’s relationships, anger, and lies drive him toward an inevitable breakdown. For the quiet and reserved Angelca, an encounter with Metod ends tragically. The following day, Metod visits his mother Marjeta, presenting himself as a loving son with a successful life and career — a performance that deeply worries her, especially as she opposes his plans to marry. At the tavern, where Metod spends time with his friends Stane and Dare, a violent clash erupts between Yugoslav Army soldiers and punk youths, further fuelling Metod’s aggression. Later, Metod brings the intoxicated Anja back to his family home, harboring equally ominous intentions.
