A personal search in the Nepalese Himalayas becomes a love story shaped by inequality, precarity and bureaucracy.

The diary of that summer takes on a new meaning, preserving the time of a world he can now revisit only through cinema.

Returning to Belgrade to empty her grandmother’s home, Bojana finds the diary tapes she recorded in 1988, during the last celebration of Youth Day in socialist Yugoslavia.

Between rehearsals, memories and current protests in Serbia, the film questions the promises of individual freedom and the possibilities of collective action.
looking for: Completion funds and broadcasters to close the financing gap; contacts with festival programmers and distributors.
