Dead Knot

Original title: Mrtvi čvor

Directed by Ismira Mašić

Amra (23) is a girl who tries to live a normal life despite childhood traumas, despite the mother's illness, and despite guilt. Her biggest fear is going home, visiting her mother, which is also her biggest dream. One morning Amra, after an argument with her boyfriend, goes home and finds her mother in serious condition. As she removes the burnt beans from the stove, Amra tries to stay strong in front of her mother who doesn't even know what day it is. The hard night ends with a lullaby that Amra sings to her mother, treating her like a baby.
