For the first time in seventeen years, the director enters her
childhood home in Montenegro, a single fragile building to have
survived a brutal transition. Inside, removing cellophane tarps,
reveals not so much her memories but more the immobility between the
past of civil war and a future with meagre illusions. At each cardinal
point, a filmic territory opens within a personal journey along the
separated Balkan territory, re-enacting vivid dreams as an attempt to
adapt to the reality of a new world order initiated when the
dismembering of Yugoslavia played out, or to freedom.
