Balkans specification - the key for movie
4 May 2023
The movie is strongly related to the emotional human behavior and character of the typical Balkan man. There is a high probability that you will find it incomprehensible or worthless if you do not know the specific issues that it affects and unfolds in its story.

In an extremely professional way, the team has managed to capture the Balkan syndrome of the man who fights evil and gradually becomes part of it. The big contribution of the movie for me personally is the fact that people are getting weaker and times are getting more complicated. People are not equipped to come into life to deal with it. They are like a prepared sacrificial lamb.

In the Balkans, man confronts political regimes, faith, family, stereotypes and only then thinks about personal development. The film touches on this emotional intelligence and intergenerational connection that is often erased.

It is interesting how structurally the movie is solved like Dante's "Inferno" - it is divided into three parts, and the main character undergoes the biggest twist in the plot just like Macbeth - influenced by his wife, in Shakespeare's play of the same name. The movie is a symbiosis between fiction and domestic drama, and the acting is beyond brilliant. Maybe there is a happy ending in this situation, judge for yourself.
