GODINA NA MAJMUNOT
THE YEAR OF THE MONKEY
Trailer
Animal warden Tsobe is fired due to financial cutbacks, while his "foster child", the monkey Coco, then escapes from the zoo. His escape causes a sensation in the media, Coco becomes a symbol – first for the Albanian and then for the Macedonian-Orthodox ethnic group, both of whom alternately put him before the nationalist cart. Tsobe, his 90-year-old aunt Wilma and a few friends go to the run with Coco. The human comedy about the absurdities of corrupt political practice and populist conspiracy theories ends with a fairytale motif: Tsobe and Coco join a group of refugees running along a railway track in the direction of Europe. The project was pitched under the title of "Freedom or Death" at the co-production market connecting cottbus in 2012. BB
