Tobacco Shop

2021 · 6 min · Documentary

Štefanija spends her days working a repetitive job in a small, cramped space. Behind the glass, tobacco shop workers are almost invisible to the buyers and the passers-by, although their jobs are an essential part of urban everyday life. Using hybrid form and stylization, the film depicts the working conditions in tobacco shops from the worker’s perspective.

“I had many friends before the war; many of them are dead now”, one of the narrators comments, looking at a photo of her classmates. “We had a perfect life, but we were never satisfied,” she adds laconically. The secondary school in Mostar united them, the War of Independence divided them. This mosaic of memories of the early 1990s is composed of contemporary postcards and silent shots of places where wars were once fought. Their calmness today contrasts with the emotional excerpts from the letters of the Croatian students. They describe their flight across the border, their experiences in refugee camps, and their lingering hatred of the enemies who robbed them of their home and youth.
