Plot

Belgrade, 1996. During the student demonstrations against the Milosevic regime, 15-year-old Stefan leads his own revolution in the heat of events: accepting the unacceptable, seeing his mother as an accomplice in the crime and finding, despite the love he feels for her, the strength to confront her.

Sinekatalog’s take

A coming-of-age drama set amid street protest, in which a teenager has to challenge his own mother. It blends political upheaval with an intimate moral clash. A compelling pick for viewers who like personal stories behind historical turmoil.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
