The Counsellor consists of several visits to a my­sterious master to whom people turn for advice.
A my­s­terious master who wants to help people without receiving any payment is an attentive listener who asks direct questions and does his best in delivering advice. He is a combination of a psychotherapist, interrogator, confessor, philosopher, artist ...

Who is the counsellor? Why do we come to him? And where are we, after all? A surprising turn unveils brand new images, new understandings, new criteria, new essence ...

Korun is a brilliant observer of Slovenian and global social reality. He addresses major, eternal issues as well as minor peculiarities and habits of today. He asks questions about the meaning of life, moral and ethical dilemmas, human identity, death, love, sexuality, reason, stupidity, faith, ideologies ... His criticism of the present and past politics is humorous as well as sharp.
