Directed by Ena Sendijarevic • Drama • With Sara Luna Zoric, Lazar Dragojevic, Ernad Prnjavorac • 2019 • 91 minutes
When her long-estranged father is hospitalized in his native Bosnia, a not-quite-headstrong young woman leaves her home in The Netherlands to visit him. When she lands at the airport with a few Bosnian phrases and a new dress, she hits the road, quickly losing her luggage, her money, and her mooring. Along a bizarre chain of events and interactions with a cast of road-weary characters, Alma faces disappointment after disappointment with devil-may-care detachment and a newfound maturity.
