Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Jasin Mjumjunov cast himself as David after struggling to find an actor who understood the Balkan musician experience authentically.
The film quietly mirrors post-Yugoslav migration to Berlin in the 2010s, when Serbian artists often lived undocumented while shaping the city's club scene.
