Synopsis
Sara (17) goes on a school trip with her classmates. She is eight months pregnant, but even her parents do not know about it. The baby in her womb is like a bomb no one is aware of. The bus stops at the border, Sara gets labor pains, gives birth in the public toilet, leaves the baby in the trash, and gets back on the bus as if nothing had happened.

Ex aequo. Montenegrin: Za dva debitantska filma reditelja koji su u svojim filmovima pokazali svu vještinu, sa različitim i prepoznatljivim rediteljskim stilovima, koji uspijevaju da kroz filmsku naraciju pokažu veliku emotivnu snagu.
This masterfully directed film does not shield the viewer from the discomfort of showing the systemic neglect and societal taboo of sexual abuse and female youth trauma. The raw and claustrophobic cinematography centres an incredibly assured and devastating lead performance and also captures a powerful bond of female solidarity. The ultimate critique of a patriarchal toxicity.
A fearless emergence of a young talent. Raw, visceral and deeply instinctive. She brings an extraordinary emotional truth to the role, announcing the arrival of an actress with a rare and powerful voice.
