Synopsis
Branko obsessively follows his brother through the neon-lit nights of Belgrade, trying to understand his unusual behavior. Along the way, Branko realizes that he is the strange one — an observer, an apparition. He keeps walking, leaving the city behind, crossing landscapes and borders on his journey toward a very special place where everyone and everything has a story to tell.
