This movie depicts two distant worlds that are almost untouchable. One is a world of Balkan countries where professionals are negligent, stubborn and unreliable. The other is a world of “unbearable routine and pose of the Borganism of the European administration”. Those who receive European money can hardly cope with the administrative obligations required of them. Those on the other side cannot stand the casual attitude of the beneficiaries. What is it that the EU really wants us to change so that we can become the part of the “European family”? This film answers this question through a moving personal story. It’s the personal story of all of us.

In moments of fear, the girl can not establish communication with people, because the ball is gone.

In a small monastery, hidden in the rocky mountains along a lake far from civilization, a lonesome young monk paints frescoes of saints on the walls. On a quiet sunny day, while fishing in his small rowboat in the middle of the lake, he suddenly hears female voices. Is he being tempted? Is his conscience being tested?

A woman's body communicates with its surroundings; it is a receptor of the macrocosm that bears traces of all other laws, including even the physiology with all its energetic zones. This is the energy that corresponds to spiritual experiences, which also depend on the body technique. The communicability can be understood, among other things, as one of the variations of the functioning of the body within the sequential regime of signs.

Produced at International Video Colony Ohrid, Macedonia 1989. Screened in retrospective at Alternative Film/Video Belgrade Festival 2014.
