What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Jasna's intense relationship with Djole becomes an explicit depiction of desire, dependency, and sexual objectification.
Jasna repeatedly records herself, her friends, her family, and Djole with a mobile-phone camera.
Jasna's need for Djole's affection drives escalating drinking, drug experimentation, truancy, and vulnerability to exploitation.
Jasna lives in poor southern Belgrade suburbs while her terminally ill father and overwhelmed mother struggle to keep the family functioning.
