Belgrade Trilogy
TV movie "Belgrade Trilogy" dedicated to young people who emigrated from Serbia. In essence, it is a story that deals with the drama of emigration and the loss of one's own roots. The three stories that change during New Year's Eve 1996, 1999 and 2018 represent three characteristic episodes of an entire generation that grew up between hatred, violence and death and left Serbia to follow the hope of a "possible" life. Their destinations are different and distant from each other (Prague, Sydney, Los Angeles), but this drama shows that in the "global" world there is not much difference in the places of residence of our young diaspora. In these three stories, the characters are connected by the same destiny: fitting in, or rejecting into a new reality, and sharing the pleasures and unrest of everyday life with their peers.
