GRUDI

Ana, Zorka and Jelena, all in their early forties, meet again in their home town Nikšić in Montenegro after many years apart. Best friends who have gone their separate ways, they haven't seen each other for a long time. Jelena married a foreigner yet returned to the city. Zorka lives in Belgrade and is desperately trying to get pregnant. Ana, based in Split, is a biochemist and knows that she has breast cancer, a fact she hides from the others, much to their resentment. Fuki, a high school dropout and master of the art of living, who has stayed in Nikšić and wheels and deals his way to a living, enjoys the confidence of his old school friends and maintains the lines of communication between these three women who are, in equal measure, similar yet different. A complex, highly authentic and personal portrait of intimacies that don't always remain intimate, the film is the screen adaptation of a successful mini-series that received a special mention from the jury at the previous Seoul Drama Award Festival.
