Milena, a middle-aged wife and mother, is living comfortably in an upscale neighbourhood of Belgrade. She quietly tends to her looks, dutifully cooks and entertains her friends. But unsettling realities are beginning to seep into her when she finds out about the hidden past of her seemingly ideal husband. She begins an awakening from the suburban paradise she had thought to live in.

The film has won numerous professional awards, amongst them the Golden Arena at Pula Film Festival. Karanovic, diva of the regional cinema and drama theatre, is also professor of acting at Belgrade’s Academy of Arts as well as a prominent human rights activist. She won the Winning Freedom Award for women promoting human rights, rule of law, democracy and tolerance.

Mirjana will be present for Q&A after the screening.
