Tatjana (35) is a manicurist who lives above her parents’ place, just like everyone else in the village. But when a friend who has just built her dream house comes in for a manicure, Tatjana decides to take fate into her own hands. The world of Little House (Ljubljana Short Film Festival 2026 – Grand Prize and Audience Award) is inspired by the native village of Slovenian director Nika Jurman, whose award-winning title explores the generation of adults still living in their childhood bedrooms.
