The film follows a dysfunctional family living under one roof in an unnamed rural area of Serbia. Milan is in his early 60’s, full of wrath, egoism and jealousy, while Zoran, his younger brother is confused, stubborn and emotionally crippled. Milan has a child, 16-year-old Slobodan, whose mother (Milan’s wife) passed away many years ago. Slobodan gets unintentionally involved in a mangled web of poor relationships that lead to fatal decisions. Jovanka, Zoran’s second wife, is more than 20 years younger than him. She has a different way of experiencing and expressing love and emotion. Zoran also has a child from his first failed marriage – ten-year-old Goran, the most innocent of them all, who witnesses an event that leaves an indelible mark.
The main characters are played by Slobodan Beštić, Gojko Baletić, Jovana Gavrilović, Nikola Stanimirović, Nebojša Rako, Nikola Arsić, Stefan Bundalo and Boris Pingović. Strahinja Pavlović is the DoP.
Shooting took place from 1 February to 15 March 2016. All 23 shooting days were spent on location in Serbia, namely the regions of Banat and Vojvodina as well as the capital, Belgrade. Nevena Savić and Ivica Vidanović are producing through Serbia’s Cinnamon Production. With a budget of 264,501 EUR, the project was submitted for a production grant of Film Center Serbia, pending results. The film is expected to be completed by the end of July 2017.
No premiere date is set yet. No sales agent or distributor are attached to the project yet.
