This TV drama is the graduate work of a screenwriter which deals with the maturation process of three characters of different age: a 12-year-old girl, a 30-year-old man and the 50-year old girl's granddad.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Aleksandar Fotez never made another feature; this MFA thesis remains his sole cinematic statement, making its existence feel almost accidental.
Shot in 1989 Yugoslavia, the film's unspoken anxieties about endings and departures now read as unintentional prophecy of the country's imminent dissolution.
