Although the film Against Time has all elements of a documentary film and follows the protagonist in her real situations, in the home, in the car, in the garden, reconstructing real situations, some segments have fictional character. These are sequences from the show Vrtlarica, whose author is the protagonist of the film Kornelija Benyovsky Šoštarić. These are acted sequences that were used in a compilation to show the difference between the public and private person. In a similar way was realised the ending of the film which shows dreaming or fiction, which is not characteristic of a classic documentary process. But even though this is a mixing of genres, the mentioned sequences are combined with the documentary elements very subtly, without losing reality. In this sense instructions for the protagonist, for whom, due to the difference between the host of a TV show and a private person, the dominant part of the film takes place in the car. In this way the protagonist, normally used to addressing the camera looks behind her, focused on driving, as in some kind of monologue. This excludes any subjectivity of the cameraman/director who follows her in the passenger seat. We learn about the concept of time from different aspects from the protagonist, but also through the director’s actions, especially the slow motion shots that emphasise the flow and transience of the journey, as well as weather situations such as a snowstorm. The sound image also has the function of highlighting emotions or certain situations. Emphasizing the sound in certain sequences highlights the importance of specific situations and emotions. In addition to the fact that documentary film introduce us to events, people or natural phenomena, they can also carry certain messages, conclusions and ideas. In this film it is a kind of absurdity, where a person who fights against time in all aspects of life manages to stop time only her her meditative dream. This leads space for the viewer to think about kind of “rice of life” in which someone can identify with the protagonist, but also potentially conclude how and when to stop time in his own life.
