After surviving a terminal illness diagnosis, Blaž sets of to a grueling celebratory Giro d’Italia. With him is his partner, filmmaker Maja Doroteja Prelog, tasked with capturing the triumphant biking tour. What was initially planned as a ride from the Dolomites to Sicily to reclaim control on one’s own life and celebrate overcoming their greatest fear, soon becomes a journey of self-discovery for the couple. While the lens of the camera turns inward, the relationship unravels, revealing a brave examination of self and what it truly means to be together. Cent’anni had its world premiere at the Trieste FF in 2024.
“Our triumphal project hit an emotional roadblock, and both film and relationship unraveled, in real time, on camera and in front of our crew. Personally, I was devastated. Professionally, I wondered: is this what I have to show the world?” (M. D. Prelog)
