Očka Orel, Balada o trobenti in oblaku, and Tistega lepega dne are three completely different literary works by author Ciril Kosmač and three equally distinct film adaptations by director France Štiglic with nearly identical titles.

Despite numerous deviations, the thematic core remains consistent – the resistance of the Slovenian population against the occupier.
