CIRCLES

Competition

Bosnia and Herzegovina, 1993. Marko, a Serbian soldier on home leave, returns to his village to visit Nada, his fiancée. When he sees three army comrades mishandling the Moslem who owns the local kiosk, Marko bravely intervenes. The consequences of his civil courage continue to be felt by Marko’s loved ones 12 years later, when the war is long over. Filmmaker Golubović presents us with a visually powerful, profoundly moving treatise on culpability, revenge and forgiveness. At the same time his film triptych makes a plea for reconciliation with the shadows of one’s own past.
