Transcending Borders

Bosnia-Herzegovina - Balkan - Worldwide

Amid isolation; two lovers are driven into an upheaval of dreams, physical expression and murmuring stillness.

In an underwater robotics test pool a machine infected by an unknown biological conglomerate conducts a fatal manoeuvre. The new compounds create their own forms, self-sustainable, self-forming and adoptable. Anthropocene, a human product, has opened a possibility for the extension of the body without organs to host other forms of life, inhumanly wondrous and unpredictable.

When the pandemic hit us, we were soon to know about the phrase 'embracing the new normal'. There is nothing normal about the loss of livelihood, nothing normal about having to walk for hours. While the privileged embraced a new world, those who were worst affected, fall through the gaps. Path, however, is a personal story of a lone journey a man takes as India readies herself for the onslaught of the virus.

When 16-year-old Damjan gets jumped on by neighborhood hooligans, his hard-headed mother comes up with a plan to protect him. Partly a satire on privilege, and part family melodrama, the film tackles gender roles and interpersonal violence in the developing North Macedonia.

After losing her virginity, 22 year-old Tina pays a distressing first visit to the gynecologist.
