Synopsis
After years in prison for political reasons, Boris returns home. In the flat where he had lived alone since his divorce, he finds his son Matej, now an adult, who has just moved in and is trying to break through as a pop singer. Boris finds his son's life empty and absurd and blames his former wife for it; everything separates them, ideas as much as way of life. Another blow strikes him: the woman with whom he planned to spend the rest of his life dies.
Context

Produced by Vardar Film, it runs for one hundred and two minutes; Fabijan Šovagović plays the father, Dančo Čevrevski the son, with Meto Jovanovski and Vukosava Doneva. The cinematography is by Mišo Samoilovski, the editing by Petar Marković. The Cinematheque of North Macedonia has since screened it again.
Who it is for
In subtitled Macedonian, a film of a little over an hour and a half. It helps to know that it is closer to an intimate family chronicle.
