DIDA
Schweiz 2021 – Director: Nikola Ilić – Original with English subtitles – Length: 78 min.
“Coming home means leaving home,” says filmmaker Nikola Ilić. For years he has travelled back and forth between Belgrade and Switzerland where he found love. He is always pulled home by his mother Dida, who can neither be alone, nor deal with money. But then the time comes for Nikola to take care of the next generation. Anja Klauck
