A MAN RETURNS from a prison stay and finds his childhood home occupied by a mother and her autistic daughter. They’re refugees from the war in Bosnia – a war the man participated in on the Serbian side. Painful memories emerge, and are explored in a surgical way. The relationship between the three of them expresses the potential for development and hope for the future. Paskaljevic uses symbols in the image composition to aid the character portrayal and to indicate the complexities of the central themes of the film. The characteristic Balkan humor permeates the film, but in total A Midwinternight’s Dreamis rather bleak and sombre. priser for flere av filmene sine.
