Ivan Faktor: Zeljko Jerman - My Month
directed by Ivan Faktor
screenplay by Ivan Faktor, Zeljko Jerman
The life of Željko Jerman, an artist, seemingly resembles other
people’s lives: he has a pet, ordinary things around him, access to
media... he has small pleasures, desires, melancholies... And yet,
everything in his world is different, including the audiovisual
stocktaking of a perfectly ordinary month, saturated with solitude and
quiet ...

Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_area)
A grey areais a term for a border in-between two or more things that is
unclearly defined, a border that is hard to define or even impossible
to define, or a definition where the distinction border tends to move.
There are several flavors of grey areas:
▪ A grey area of definitions signifies a problem of sorting reality
into clearly cut categories. Example: where is the border between
erotica and pornography?
▪ A grey area of law is an area where no clear law or precedent exists,
or where the law has not been applied in a long time thus making it
unclear if it is applicable at all.
▪ A grey area of ethics signifies an ethical dilemma, where the border
between right and wrong is blurred. Example: is killing always
abominable?
Grey areas are widely accepted in democratic societies and have a clear
connection to the notion of tolerance, whereas in societies of
totalitarianism, grey areas are typically not accepted on any level.
Many people accept grey areas as a natural part of the human
experience, whereas others may react with suspicion and a feeling of
defectness or uncompleteness of any thought-system (or paradigm)
accepting grey areas.
