Plastic Gods and a Mirror

Documentary about the Yugoslav writer, poet and television author Duško Trifunović.

A former Yugoslavian and Japanese singing star, painter, refugee turned stateless, beloved poet of unrequited love. It is not well-known that she loves wild guitar, along with experimental and ambient music, Jackson Pollock, and that she still dreams in Japanese. Since the accident on a concert in Japan in 2011, she has been suffering from progressive withering away of muscles. The movie is a collection of fragments from her life, told in a sickbed during her three years of battling the incurable illness.

It was once an Ivo the Tzar, born on the slopes of the picturesque but crisp mountains Rudnik in Serbia. Ivo dreamed of great dreams for which there is usually no place in the Balkan towns, let alone in the farmer’s countryside. The fate, however, made sure that Ivo made his Hollywood in his village Mutanj. If you think that magic realism is possible only in art, you are mistaken. Meet Ivo the Tzar and the only village with red carpet on the Balkans! The reality in there is fantastic!
