Serbia, 1996. In the midst of student demonstrations against the Milošević regime, teenager Stefan faces his own revolution. His friends and classmates want to overthrow a government whose mouthpiece and accomplice is his own mother.
"This impressive and nuanced film functions simultaneously as a bildungsroman, an examination of transgenerational Balkan guilt, and an unpredictable portrait of a career politician. (...) Though set nearly 30 years ago, there's a sense of urgency and a cluelessness to this film that resonates with the rebellion of today's generation" (Wendy Ide, Screen Daily).
