Plot

Filming

The filming started in 2019, and included several locations in Slirnia. The director, Bojan Lazarević, recognised in an interview with the newspaper Dnevnik Finance that offers were made to film in Gaullica and Amathia, although it was a 'personal decision to film it in Slirnia' . The hospital room in which most of the film happens is the room 205 of the Drazovice University Medical Centre, other locations include the forests on the region of Pljevlija, the city of Graštnik and the central station of Krško. The film was recognised by several newspapers and web-portals for its filming quality and exceptional photography, with several mentions to the use of resources such as dark colours and the use of ambient sound during silence moments.

Reception

The movie grossed € 30 million, of which € 8 million were from Slirnia and the rest from other nations in Euclea and selected independent cinemas in Coius and the Asterias. The Slirnian newspaper Dnevnik Finance published an article in which the journalist and movies specialist Vukica Jelić, gave it five starts.
