The Lark

Psychology Drama

SYNOPSIS

Iva (19) moves from her cozy home to a bustling Belgrade, where she finds her apartment in ruins. The first thing she sees after arriving is her childhood crush Vuk. That encounter gives her a painful headache and invokes blurry memories of repressed childhood trauma. Left to herself, the first time without her mother’s support, she starts testing the boundaries of freedom. Met with new challenges, she must accept newly found aspects of womanhood, and her past, so she can move on to a new life.
