Movie about secret relations between Yugoslavian, Serbian and Croatian secret police during last 50 years. Here in Balkans truth and lies are so much mixed and it lasts so long that no one knows the difference. That is why this fictitious story looks so true.
Acting
Lečić and Ristovski's weary chemistry of men who've buried too much.
Writing
Dialogue that weaponizes bureaucratic euphemism.
Director
Darko Bajić
