In the Year of Hip Hop takes a retrospective look at the Slovenian hip hop/rap music scene. Boris Petkovič explores in great detail the evolution of a music style which, from the very start, has intimately reflected the social situation of its artists. Hip hop has always absorbed the "vibes" of the place where it is taking root, and Slovenia is no exception. According to Petkovič, in today's Slovenia, rap is the one and only form of music that discusses the state of our society and of human relationships without any inhibitions. If rap is not your cup of tea, this film can make you change your mind.

In a block of flats at the edge of town the local children enjoy playing basketball in their courtyard. When their grumpy neighbor confiscates their basketball the children decide to go on an elaborate rescue mission to retrieve it.

The film documents the history of the Slovenian rap music and its relationship to poetry, literature and politics of the present.

Boštjan Gorenc Pižama, Perica Jerković and Gašper Bergant in an amusing show bring an exclusive insight into the stand-up scene. Sex in the car, unusual tattoos, child rearing and reality show will be just some of the topics that will be touched by the bearded flowers of Slovenian freestyle comedy. The most comic comedy offers a half-hour of laughter in a staggered male company with no hair (only) on the tongue.
