Two girls play detectives and discover a real serial killer.

An ambitious but somewhat lazy village photographer tries to survive in the big city. To earn some money and perhaps shine in a prestigious society, she attends a posh party. Hanging out with the people there, she decides to radically change her life. Can she make it without killing anyone in the process?

The focus is on the disintegration of an idyllic relationship between parents, Marko and Dunja. This is due to a lack of respect, caused by loss of employment and a financial breakdown. In time, the parents are no longer able to bear their burden, which is thus increasingly weighing their children down. In Slovenia, the story from The Basics of Killing occurs on a daily basis, but it could happen anywhere. To those familiar with the phenomenon, the film will be a painful experience, to others, may it be a warning.

Somewhere far away from the village and people, four hundred wind gusts away, Marija and Drevo are dealing with the acceptance of the upcoming loss of their friend.

Ten-year-old Ida believes that the mysterious angelic singing resounding across the village graveyard is the only thing keeping her beloved Grandma alive. So she decides to join the school choir-even though she is absolutely tone deaf.
