Branko dwells on the fringes of Belgrade’s society. Unable to sleep and isolated, he speaks to no one. His only obsession seems to be his younger brother, whose muddy shoes, blood-stained 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. An unexpected call from a forgotten childhood friend sends Branko on a journey off the beaten paths and beyond the city, into the mountains where every being, human or not, has a story to share.
