After years spent in Belgrade, Janko returns to his half-deserted village, the home of his widowed mother Milica. The latter sincerely hopes that Janko has come back for good; her son, however, has other plans.... The director captures the generational conflict with sensitivity and compassion for both sides and, aided by mournful folk melodies and images of the striking mountain scenery, he creates a moving evocation of life in a remote village high up in the hills. |
