Mara, a successful businesswoman and single mother, is heartbroken after her son Nemanja’s untimely death. She becomes emotionally detached, refusing to communicate with friends and family. However, when she meets Milan, Nemanja’s close friend, she finds solace and comfort in their relationship. As they grow closer, they uncover more about Nemanja’s life and his passing, giving Mara an opportunity to face her life and emotions.
“For me, Mara is a woman who conformed to that patriarchal rule of life and deeply buried within herself everything that is her true essence. With the death of her son, that hidden content lost its armor, its cocoon, and what I see as her impact in this film is a tremendous longing for life, which, well, was triggered by death. So for me this is truly a clash of Thanatos and Eros /…/.” (Mirjana Karanović)
