GRANICE, KIŠE
BORDERS, RAINDROPS
Trailer
It is now midsummer in the place where the war had recently been waged in a disintegrating Yugoslavia. Jagoda spends her holidays at her relatives. Her cousin Zdravko, who has remained faithful to his village, prefers to seek his fortune in the countryside. This large family lives with the traumas of war and looks forward to the next generation with high hopes.
12-year-old Luka grows up with his grandparents. His mother died young and his father went to work in the USA. The different age groups deal with the traumatic past in different ways. While the older ones come to terms with the newly ordered state borders, the younger ones are prepared to break them. This is then how the Croatian border guard Nikola comes closer to Jagoda’s family.
With BORDERS, RAINDROPS, Nikola Mijović and Vlastimir Sudar have made a "quiet" film about the ethnic-national conflict and its consequences by using the example of a multi-generational family. Special imagery is created with impressive landscapes and virtuoso camera work. IB
