FAMILY RELICS
The film consists of three stories, wich at first glance appear independent, and follows three situations developing simultaneously within a few days. Narrated parallelly, they gradually reveal the relationships between the members of one family, but also shows the dеmolished human communication between the characters – spouses, brothers, parents, children. The threads of the separate events are interweaved so at the end they are joined into a common, interconnected and interdependent existence, branded by the lack of value and higher meaning. The sloth and inertia, as well as the repressed impulses and mental anguish are concrete and tangible as the wind, but the consequences are irreversible – a moment which has no space for “later“. There are no innocent, no one is guilty and still each one of the characters is stinged by the thought that he or she could have lived their days in a different way…
