The property was split on the orders of the then communist government when Srbijanka Turajlic, who was born here, was just two years old. The door leading to the other rooms was locked, and 30 years later, when Srbijanka’s daughter Mila Turajlic, the film’s director, was born, it was still locked. In a film that rarely leaves this space, Mila paints a poignant portrait of her mother, a resolute woman with no doubts about her past actions, even though they put her life in danger. Does the new generation view things in a similar way? Winner of the IDFA Award for Best Feature-Length Documentary.
Mila Turajlic, Serbia, France, Qatar, 2017, 104 min. Serbian spoken, Dutch subtitles.
