Story

Vladimir Perišić paints a nuanced portrait of Serbian adolescents torn between family ties and a burgeoning political consciousness. Belgrade 1996: After rumours of possible election fraud, students demonstrate on the streets against the Milosević regime. While his friends support the demonstrators, 15-year-old Stefan hesitates to take a political stand: His mother is the government’s press spokesperson, her face is on the TV screens of post-Yugoslavia, defending the propaganda of those in power. The conflicting loyalties increasingly drive Stefan into isolation, where the childlike love for his mother begins to show cracks.
