Ono što treba činiti
The Thing to Be Done
Srđan Kovaćević sheds a light on The Workers’ Advisory Office in Ljubljana. In this cramped and messy office Goran Zrnić, a former electrician turned lawyer, Goran Lukić, a tireless union activist, and Laura Orel, a social worker, receive workers. Most are of Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian origin, and they come with their documents, their doubts, sometimes their shame, and many questions about their labour conditions, payment or the lack of it, and their residency status. Kovaćević’s film gives a small glimpse into the inner workings of injustice and abuse. While this trio and their team try to treat the workers as more than just migrants, it is impossible to see their condition independent from the fact of their fragile legal status as foreigners.
