Heimkehrer

I watched this movie during Bergen International Film Festival in Norway it is an interesting movie that takes place in a small town of Serbia-Montenegro. Director Arsenic has an interesting but disturbing story to tell about a local boy Marko.

Marko has a tragic past and returns to the town to find his old girlfriend Anja. He struggles to find acceptance in his homecoming and his past haunts him the story is told in a dark mood in a place where people has no hope of a good future. The main characters of the film all wants to leave the city since they see no future for them there.

The tragic event that haunts the main character of the film is disturbing yet it is an important story that deserves to be told and it is a story of a youth that was never allowed to grow up and of a society that has little acceptance of this youth and his relationship to a woman.
