about

BALADA O ROZKI IN VRTNEM PALČKU/BALLAD OF ROSE AND A GARDEN GNOME is based on a crime section story Katarina read years ago. A “family guy” raped young woman, was put to the trial and then claimed it was her fault as she was dressed inappropriately for a woman her age. Katarina instantly thought of him as a gnome (very popular garden accessory in Slovenia) and her story developed from there. It is pretty ironic (contains a rather swell imitation of a sexual act sung by a well known Slovenian experimental singer Irena Tomažin as well as a mobile phone recording of a taxi driver in Chinese city Guangzhou). In the end Rose figures out she will never win her case in court as a garden gnome pleads “not guilty”, so she kills him and ends up in prison herself….With a new garden gnome she bought in a convenience store.
