Odumiranje
After several years in Belgrade Janko returns to his almost deserted native village in the mountains. His widowed mother is beside herself with joy and hopes that her son will finally stay, get married and settle down. Janko has other plans however: He wants to move to Zurich and start out anew. All he needs is money, for which he´s prepared to go to any lengths, even if that means selling the land inherited from his father, the latter´s burial site. (Festival information)
The film takes us into the depth of a moral dilemma by reflecting upon rural exodus, generational conflict and broken relationships. In a provocative way it forces us to reconsider the 4th commandment: honour your parents. Metaphorically, the film depicts a destroyed paradise by way of persuasive characters, desperately in need of forgiveness.
