The importance of chance meetings cannot be neglected in the lives of human beings as they prepare them to discover life and its varied facets.Slovenian film "Dual" is about one chance meeting which completely transforms the lives of its protagonists.The film begins with a plane from Denmark making an unscheduled landing at a Slovene airport due to technical problems.This plane's passengers are housed at a hotel in downtown Ljubljana where a young Danish girl decides to explore the city.This is the start of an important adventure in the boring lives of some young people."Dual" is an important film for a multilingual Europe where the youngsters don't have a common language.It is true that English languages often comes to their rescue but not at the cost of local languages.One can hear actresses speaking in both Danish as well as Slovene.This bittersweet film by director Nejc Gazvoda had its premiere at prestigious Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2013.Later,it was shown at other film festivals namely International Film Festival of India 2013
