SYNOPSIS
Borders, Raindrops has so far been screened at more than 25 international film festivals, including Sarajevo (Bosnia), Montreal (Canada), Los Angeles (US), Paris (France), London (UK), Cottbus (Germany), Sochi (Russia), Goteborg (Sweden) and Bergamo (Italy). The film has received more than 10 awards, including:
First Prize 'Prix sauvage' Best Feature Film as well as the Young Jury Award - L'Europe autour de L'Europe (Paris, France), Second Prize Feature Competition - Bergamo Film Meeting (Italy), Best Cinematography - SEE Film Festival (Los Angeles), Best Debut Director - Dzada Film Fest (Podgorica, Montenegro) and Best Full Length Feature - Varna (Bulgaria).
A film about longing and belonging, set high up in the mountains above the Adriatic Sea. A city girl, Jagoda, visits her extended family in the Balkan countryside during the summer, awakening hope, love, and the sense of mystery.
The story unfolds in a recently fragmented space, on the borders of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Croatia, and is mirrored in the narrative structure of the film, which is broken in two halves and an epilogue. The ghostly presence of the young woman creates a connection between the two families, divided by the newly formed borders, with no passports or umbrellas needed.
