Program

Vesna is a Slovenian romantic film from 1953, produced during the Yugoslav period, and is considered the first Slovenian romantic comedy. It was directed by the Czech director František Čap and remains one of the most beloved classics of Slovenian cinema.
The story follows a group of high school students who try to obtain the final exam questions through their professor’s daughter, but their plan unexpectedly turns into a genuine love story.
A special feature of our project is that the students translated the film’s subtitles from Slovenian into Japanese, making this Slovenian classic accessible to a Japanese audience.
We will first watch Vesna, followed by its sequel Don't Wait for May Ne čakaj na maj, 1957), which continues the story of the main characters. The Japanese subtitles for the sequel are currently being translated by the students.
