Montenegro  2016  100 minutes
Director: Ivan Marinovic
Starring: Nikola Ristanovski, Bogdan Dildic

Peter is a disillusioned orthodox priest who has returned to his home village on the beautiful, but remote, Lustica peninsular in Montenegro. The locals get little spiritual comfort from their new priest, and their animosity grows into outright hostility, particularly when his refusal to sell his family land threatens to derail a lucrative plan to develop the peninsular as a holiday resort. The villagers even turn to witchcraft in their efforts to drive him away. The first film to come out of Montenegro since the destructive breakup of the former Yugoslavia, it has been described as a ‘bittersweet comic drama’.
