Average Rating
No ratings yetSynopsis
A young student Braca is trying to seduce a beautiful model Iris. Although they are from two different worlds, they both try not to show it. In another story, Šomi and Duje anxiously follow the football match between Manchester and Eastwich. They bet on Eastwich, because their childhood friend Kengur is their goalkeeper. The plot of the third story takes place on the roof of the solitaire, where Avaks and Hibrid are wasting time in anticipation of something happening.
Where to Watch
Diversity & Representation
Overall Score
5.1/10
Fair
Category Breakdown
LGBTQ+ Representation
The film focuses on heteronormative pursuits, such as the seduction of a model, and male camaraderie. There is no explicit evidence of queer identities or critiques of heteronormativity present.
Gender Representation
Iris is framed through the traditional trope of a beautiful model and object of desire. However, the male characters are portrayed through anxiety and idleness rather than traditional masculine competence.
Racial & Ethnic Diversity
The production appears to be a localized, regional work centered on specific urban subcultures. This focus suggests a lack of intersectional racial breadth within the narrative.
Religious & Cultural Diversity
The film avoids singular institutional morality by focusing on characters on the periphery. Its emphasis on aimlessness and social gaps suggests a secular, subjective view of life.
Disability Representation
There is no mention of characters with visible or invisible disabilities in the narrative. Consequently, no representation of this group is identified.
Strengths
- The triptych structure allows for a diverse mosaic of social disconnection and aimless youth.
- The narrative rejects rigid, moralistic structures in favor of a more fluid, subjective exploration of existence.
- It subverts traditional masculine competence by portraying men in states of anxiety and idle waiting.
Areas for Improvement
- The film lacks explicit representation of LGBTQ+ identities or queer perspectives.
- The narrative focus on localized urban subcultures limits intersectional racial and ethnic breadth.
- Female characters are primarily framed through traditional tropes of being objects of desire.
AI Analysis
The film functions as a study of social fragmentation rather than a vehicle for identity politics. It rejects rigid, moralistic structures in favor of a fluid, postmodern exploration of youth and stasis. While the triptych structure allows for a mosaic of social disconnection, the work lacks high-visibility markers of intersectional representation. It prioritizes the deconstruction of social archetypes over explicit demographic diversity. Ultimately, the film's progressive value lies in its narrative architecture. It challenges conventional character agency by presenting individuals defined by their aimlessness rather than decisive actions.
