Sinekatalog’s take
Goran Paskaljević's drama follows a retired music teacher in Belgrade who learns he was adopted and is Jewish, reopening wartime secrets. Mustafa Nadarević is excellent in a quiet, moving film about identity, memory and guilt.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
