SUMMARY: Ivan is a retired music teacher. He buys himself a plot in a graveyard with an unrivalled view of the Alps and checks into a retirement home so that he can await his death in peace. However, the exact opposite happens: while attending computer classes, he discovers his joiede- vivre and finally starts living life to the fullest. Good To Go is a bittersweet portrait of a man confronting the loneliness of old age. It is a film about life and how it is never too late to start living as if there were no tomorrow. Above all, it is the story of a man who rediscovers his joie-de-vivre and his appetite for life through the company and closeness of others. Good To Go is an inspiring life story about growing old without giving up.
DIRECTOR: Matevž Luzar (Trbovlje, Slovenia, 1981) is one of Slovenia’s most talented young directors. He graduated in Directing from the Academy for Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (AGRFT) with the short film Wolfy (Vučko), which was nominated for the Student Academy Award. In addition, the film won the Grand Prix at Montpellier and it was presented at Locarno. Good To Go marks his full-length directorial debut. The film won the Audience Award for Best Film, as well as the Vesna Awards for Best Screenplay, Best Photography, Best Production Design, Best Costume Design and Best Sound Design at the 15th Festival of Slovenian Films.
