Želimir Žilnik’s documentary serves as a powerful deconstruction of historical clichés. By prioritizing fragmented, individual memories over state narratives, the film explores how identity and history are constructed through communal interaction. The work excels in its interrogation of myth-making. It moves away from monolithic accounts of partisan struggles to embrace a more localized, diverse view of the multi-ethnic landscape in Vojvodina. While the film offers deep cultural and ethnic nuance, it remains limited by the era's documentary conventions, showing no specific focus on LGBTQ+ or disability representation.
