At night a city bus driver finds an abandoned baby near a stop. A divorced man comes to pick up his excited son for the weekend. A pretty doctor befriends a quadriplegic. Out of this unfolds a delicate story of human relationships, in which through feelings of sympathy and guilt the protagonists are confronted with diff erent ways of looking at events. This film was made with minimal financial resources, and most of the cast and crew worked for free. Tjaša Železnik plays three parts in the film. (The title Short Circuits, i.e. electrical failure, is the usual translation for Kratki Stiki. In Slovenian, Kratki Stiki also means literally ‚‘brief contacts‘‘.)

awards: 5x Slovene FF 2006: Best film, Best director, Best actress (Tjaša Železnik), Best screenplay,
