Once upon a time in a very rural part of South-Eastern Serbia. A small secluded village where time has stopped, still awaiting a good many conveniences of modern life, its inhabitants locked in their eternal everyday routines and murderously hostile to changes. The summer heat is suffocating and 18-year-old Jana wishes nothing more than to leave this place forever. Then, a mysterious outsider arrives, and his fate is foretold…
Using a sophisticated non-linear narrative structure, packed with energy and riveting performances, this is a gripping, playful, and audio-visually beautiful and stylish neo-western coming-of-age drama. An impressively sure-handed and smart debut
