Mamonga is a modern triptych with a fragmented dramaturgical structure, dealing with problems in communication through three completely different set-ups. The connecting elements of these diverse stories are the characters of Jovana and Marko, two teenagers from a bleak Bosnian provincial town. We observe their lives in two timelines - how they live in the patriarchal society of their hometown and what becomes of them 10 years after a traumatising event takes place.
Stefan Malešević co-wrote the script together with Zorica Milisavljević and Simon Marić. The main roles are played by: Marta Bjelica, Dražen Pavlović, Nabi Tang and Vuk Janošević.
