Moja Domovina - My Country


directed by Milos Radovic, Yugoslavia / 1997, 10 minutes

in italiano

A number of vehicles are detained at a railroad crossing. A minor fight breaks out, and soon pandemonium ensues A sheep farmer approaching from the other side of the tracks, ties his sheep to the crossing gate while he investigates the ruckus. Before long, a train passes, the fight disperses and the sheep hangs ten feet in the air, suspended from the open crossing "This is a comedy," says the director, "about some tragic events that took place a few weeks ago, in modern Serbia. Absurdity is a way of life in my country."
