78 Days

World Premiere / Feature Debut: IFFR 2024

Just before their father is conscripted during the 1999 NATO bombing of Serbia, sisters Sonja (17) and Dragana (15) begin a Hi8 video diary, overwriting older recordings that periodically appear between the newly shot scenes. Days go by as they film the peaceful nature around them, the trembling sky at night during air raids and their teasing of their seven-year-old sister, Tijana. Things change when a mysterious boy and his shy, younger sister arrive from Belgrade and move into the neighbor's house. Soon, new friendships, first kisses and first disappointments take over the fear of bombs.
