Slovenian Girl

Alexandra is a 23-year-old student of the English language. She comes from a small town. Her parents are divorced. No one knows that Alexandra runs personal ads under the nickname “The Slovenian Girl” and that prostitution is her secret source of income. She’s very good at manipulating people, is an accomplished liar and a bit of a thief, and hates her mother. The only person she cares about is her father, a faded rocker. Alexandra has plans for her life, but life is not as easy as she expects.
