Discover "Lost Country" with us - a Serbian-French-Croatian-Luxembourgish production that has won acclaim at international festivals! Director Vladimir Perisic and co-writer Alice Winocour present an intense drama that delves into the Serbian realities of the 90s.
Serbia, 1996. Young Stefan spends an idyllic vacation in the countryside, surrounded by his grandfather's stories of distant journeys and his grandmother's delicious dishes. The idyll lasts until his mother, Marklena, appears, a complicated and controversial figure, a spokeswoman for Slobodan Milosevic's party, for years involved in bloody wars and crimes against humanity in the Balkans. Stefan can afford not to be interested in politics. Now, however, politics will take an interest in him. Soon, election night will bring not only the results of the vote, but also a change in Stefan's life, forcing him to confront the brutal reality of adult life. The time of rural idyll will be replaced by the turbulent days of revolution, in which no feeling, not even the strongest, can be trusted. When you are Goebbels' son in a skirt, life can give you the highest bill.
The film "Lost Country" is a fascinating journey through family and political conflicts, where personal history intertwines with national tragedy. Perisic and Winocour create a world in which the past casts long shadows on the future, and decisions made in one night can affect the fate of many.
Awarded at the Cannes IFF for directing and screenplay, the film asks questions about responsibility, identity and the possibility of forgiveness in complicated times. We invite you to Kinoteka to see with your own eyes how the fate of Stefan and his family will unfold in the turbulent times of political breakthrough.
