In the beginning our idea was to create a film, which explores the human subconscious and more precisely, the emotions and feelings, the pictures that are left engraved in the human mind, without the person realizing it.

Also, we wanted to explore the connection between the human being and the place. Why is someone feeling comfortable at a certain place and not feeling well at another. And, what connects a person with a city.

In other words, we wanted to make a road movie, a film about traveling into the inside, towards the hidden memories and senses.

The script was written for two particular actresses, even the personal name of one of them was kept in the film. Our acquaintance gave us the possibility to build the characters on their emotional inner world.

Despite that the screenplay was based on their individual features, or precisely because of it, the actresses were not informed about the story before the start of the production. The shooting was organized in chronological order and the actresses kept discovering all the details simultaneously with their characters. They were as anxious and unsure of their aim, as their characters.

The film was shot in August 2012, almost entirely in Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina. The city is the third character in the film, equivalent to the other two.

The locations were authentic places from the city.

Zitra hall, now bearing the name of “Juan Antonio Saramanch” has been rebuilt in exactly the same way as it had been constructed for the Olympics in 1984. After its total devastation during the war in former Yugoslavia in 1991, now the hall is restored in its original shape.

It is an interesting coincidence that the film will be released in 2014, celebrating 30 years from the Olympic Games in Sarajevo in 1984.

Remains from the bloodshed war in 1991 are the numerous cemeteries of Sarajevo, which are shot in the film. In spite of that, the city has retained the its peculiar beauty and is inhabited by young and cheerful people.

The night life of Sarajevo, the way it is presented in the film, is truly authentic. We hope this atmosphere will not change and the bar so.ba will stay as underground as it is now – keeping the spirit of freedom.

The crew of the film was a perfect mix of Bulgarians and Bosnians, with an average age of 30. Executive producer of the film was the Bosnian company pro.ba, represented by Adis Djapo, who supplied us with a crew of excellent professionals and was extremely supportive during the whole production.

The film was shot on 35mm print and was post-produced in the classical technology without digitalization. The footage was physically cut, then the negative was edited and finally the positive copy for projection was produced.

That was the only consequence of the chosen aesthetics, by which we were looking for a visual representation that can be both poetic and metaphysical in a way. An image, that emphasizes on the texture of the picture and strives to go beyond the seeable and to capture the invisible behind the buildings’ war scars and the faces of the actresses.

Driven by the same aesthetical concept, we created a sound atmosphere which gives uneven relief to the situations, revealing their nature.

Our aim was the film to leave an impression in the viewer not as a picture, but as feelings and emotions.
