Synopsis
Branko dwells on the fringes of Belgrade society. Unable to sleep and isolated, he speaks to no one. His only obsession seems to be his younger brother, whose muddy shoes, bloodstained sheets, and murky whereabouts unsettle him. Making his way through passageways, park bushes and brutalist landscape, Branko shadows his brother’s every step, haunted by his strange behavior. As the paranoia sets in, Branko realizes his brother isn’t the strange one. He is.
