Synopsis
Since Petar didn’t enroll in college, he has to spend his summer helping his father with household chores. His cousin Nada, whom he hasn’t seen in ten years, comes to visit from Chicago. Petar feels trapped in the silence of the summer village, while life – and his estranged cousin – move on without him.
Director
Director's statement
Hormonal imbalance during adolescence, and the resulting loneliness and entrapment in one’s problems, are themes that interested me in this drama. Post-puberty struggles are still largely unexplored in film, so with my film, I wanted to present the audience a fragment from the life of a lost boy.
