In northern Montenegro, in the area between Petnjica and Berane, a married couple visits the family estate with houses of their relatives who left the country permanently to live abroad. This part of Montenegro is recognizable by a large number of emigrant families who left their empty houses unattended. The relatives from abroad visit them once a year for five days. They are the only visitors to these houses throughout the year. The film director sets this journey as a metaphoric journey into the world of resurrecting the long-forgotten family relationships getting colder after the departures.
Sead Šabotić graduated in film and TV directing and completed postgraduate specialist studies at the same college, Faculty of Drama Arts at Cetinje. He is presently at his Master studies at Faculty of Drama Arts in Belgrade.
