XENOPHOBIA AND PREJUDICES

Opening night

Fifty Dead Men Walking

With their sights set on a better life, two young couples abandon their respective countries. Maylinda and Nik leave Albania to board a ship for Italy, where they hope to live out their forbidden love. Vera and Marko take a train out of Serbia, heading through Hungary to Austria. Marko, an enormously talented cellist, has the opportunity to join the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. But the problems start when the couples reach the border, despite having their documents in order. The hope of making their dreams come true in Europe, synonym of the Promised Land, soon fades.

Latest film from Goran Paskaljevic, Serbian director to have garnered accolades at festivals worldwide, author among many others, of Someone Else’s America (1995), The Powder Keg (1998) and Midwinter Night’s Dream (2004).
