Vdovstvo Karoline Žašler

A Slovenian village welcomes us in its midst. Karolina Žašler is not yet a widow, but she will be soon. She has a bad reputation, and after her husband's death, things get even worse for her. She can barely keep up with rejecting new suitors, hysteria alternates with various rape attempts, drinking parties, and local cultural events. Things calm down briefly and Žašler falls in love with Tenor, the new man in the village. He is polite and well-mannered, but eventually shows more interest in Žašler's competitor, whose husband wanted to divorce her because of Žašler. This is how Tenor gains ground with Korlova and Korlova will get her revenge on Žašler. It might work okay as a general theme of a village woman on the outskirts of the village, but the extreme lack of logic of some of the scenes, the behavior of various characters, and the absurd awkwardness in many ways turn Žašler into a desperate combination of characters seen in other films.
