Filmmaking is a constant improvisation from many aspects. In most of
my films I had no idea how it would end. I just trusted myself and in
a way I let myself free in front of the image wealth of the hidden
cinematic moments. There is a lot of fear in that, and it is really
painful sometimes not knowing what are you doing -where it is heading
at all. But I have understood that this is a much more stimulative
process that fits my personal way of interpreting reality.

A maturation trip, the childish nightmare of K. In a wooden house,
she revives her childhood’ s fears and desires and experiences her
sexual awakening. A dreamy wandering constructed by the tale of three
little pigs, a distorted view of her own family.

A woman receives letters from a strange man. Present and absent this
man knows every little detail of her life. The new postman arrives at
this place. The characters live separately without any connection.
However seem to interweave their lives in an unusual way.

A boy and a girl meet in club’s toilet. High on drugs, they walk the
streets of Sarajevo aimlessly. They end up in an apartment, fooling
around, making out. Until this careless atmosphere is interrupted by
someone else’s presence.
