Motivation at the Cottbus Festival of 2015: “The film deals with the wounds of the Balkan wars in three different stories following a couple played by the same actors in 1991, 2001, and 2011 respectively. At once realist in style and metaphorical in subject, the film addresses the difficulties to overcome past traumas and rebuild human relationships. Emotionally convincing and visually playful, this exceptional work reflects historical memory through individual tragedies.”
