WHALE ON A BEACH
Written by Vinko Möderndorfer
Whale on a Beach is a story about differentness, normality and about the many struggles involved in growing up for modern-day teenagers, caught between family and peers. Theatrical premiere in Ljubljana in September 2018.
Nika, a lively, curious teenager, moves house with her parents. She goes to a new school now, in a new place with new classmates. All seems lovely and just as it should be. Nika is popular, she makes friends easily; she is outgoing and witty. But it turns out that she keeps a secret; a secret that quickly gets out of the bag and will now change the lives of everyone around her...
This heartwarming story about accepting difference is bound to appeal to young adults and adults, too.
