SYNOPSIS

Marko spends time in the abandoned apartment of his childhood in Belgrade. Traces of the past are being drawn and memories, both idyllic and traumatic, are combined.
The family VHS archive shows his universe during 1998 and 1999: gatherings, pets, videogames and moments of uncertainty reveal a common life embraced by a historical event.

PRESS

"Grba Singh uses his trademark subtle, intricate approach in a film that deals with intimate, auto-biographical themes, which makes it uniquely authentic, quietly emotional and beautifully exhilarating at the same time."
