Vetka is a 40-year-old woman, a single mother of two, without permanent employment. Her husband died, and she, along with her 15-year-old son Simcho and 3-year-old Bube, live in a deliberately hidden hut. They wash cars, collect old things from containers, barely eat. A new complex of buildings will be built on the land where their hut is located. Everything is destroyed, they remain on the street.
Upside Down
The Speaker
Jan is the type of romantic malcontent who can't find rest, who continually hurts people and gets hurt himself. This dark, raw and uncompromising Macedonian film presents a gloomy testimony of the degradation of the life of the individual and society as a whole.
The Blanket of Aco Shopov
The doctor
The members of the Macedonian hip-hop crew Chista okolina (Clean Environment) rap some of their tracks a capella.
N.E.P.
N.E.P. or The Stones God Threw on the Barricades was made as an independent project by TV Bordoshbagn for A1 Independent Television in Skopje. The film is of an undefined genre and speaks about the Third World lies, which renowned 'well-intentioned' missionaries, founders of certain foundations and institutes, have promoted in the countries of the former socialist regime, especially in Eastern Europe. This project is an outsider's look at the paradox about the secret beauty of power and the submission to that power. N.E.P. is a video reflection on the aesthetics of the transformation of power, looked at from the point of view of the ordinary man in the so-called transitional countries who, after five years of living in 'freedom' still can't understand why the most democratic system of them all – parliamentary democracy – is better than the one before.
