Charlatan Magnifique is a film that brings an entertaining mix of excellent music, spontaneous comical situations as well as comments given by the key people in Magnifico’s life. The film written and directed by Maja Pavlin takes us through Magnifico’s rich, diverse and successful career – from late 1980s, when he began his path in music as member of the band U’REDU, through his solo career marked by numerous hits, such as 24.000 bacci, Kdo je Čefur, Halo gospodična, Silvija, and many others, all the way to his contract with the multinational Sony, his global success with Hir Aj Kam Hir Aj Go, and his focus on music for film.

The film explores creativity in a different, not necessarily psychoanalytic, but certainly self-purgative and self-critical way. This is a story of the creative processes of a director, screenwriter, musician and versatile artist Vinci Vogue Anžlovar. A person with a personality disorder, a witty and insightful author with borderline tendencies. Four feature films, music for his band and feature films, theatre, short films. But all this in some state of conflict – clashes with producers, slapping a minister, breaking the jaw of an actor, fits of rage, anxiety, drugs, gambling, divorces, poverty, wealth, depression, rehab...

Marjetka is living ten years with Maks, who is a painter, and an uncompromising conceptual artist. At first, it seemed different: Max was witty, charming, talented and promising, so he hired Marjetka to reach fame and success. "Well, it is funny today, but fame and money is not coming out of nowhere". The film has a poet, Srecko, Max's mother, an opera singer, and Vilma, Marjetka's friend. In short, the artists themselves, or as Max says from his point of view: "Slovenian - Country artists". And when Marjetka a few days after her 30th birthday, full of doubts about this way of life, which is not to her liking, she realizes that Maks is not only an irreversible bohemian, but also a slacker and sarcastic, she decides to change her life. And this is very radical. Rather than leave it to him.
