Synopsis:
This is for the most part an autobiographical film by the director Miloš Radivojević and the last part of the trilogy whose other parts include Awaking from the Dead (2005) and The Reject (2007). During the occupation, as a small boy, the author developed a special kind of friendship with a German officer who lived in his family house. Even though he is a stranger in the family, the German offers love and attention to the boy that he never experienced in his own family, which has thus left him feeling like a stranger there himself. Now a grown up, he reminisces about the past to an abandoned girl, Roma.
