During a large-scale protest in Belgrade, two teenagers who seem to have nothing in common get to know each other despite the political chaos. A gripping, modern feature film.

Lena, a student from a traditional and patriarchal family, meets Stefan one evening , a young man from the same neighborhood. She is fully committed to the protesters’ cause, while he is pressured by his friends to join the police. During a violent protest, an incident brings them closer together and changes their perspectives. By setting a Romeo and Juliet-style story against the very contemporary backdrop of the protest movements that have been shaken Serbia since 2024, filmmaker Jelena Maksimović presents a feverish work, driven by a fleeting camera that perfectly captures the urgency of the situation. A breathless film, rooted in current political events and carried by the magnetic Lena Trifunović and Andrija Krivokapić.
