Iza stakla

Behind the Glass depicts a love triangle between successful architect Nikola (Leon Lucev), his colleague and mistress Ana (Darija Lorenci) and wife Maja (Jadranka Djokic). Nikola is torn between these two women, his mistress of six years who is waiting for a divorce, and a wife aware of his infidelity. A beautifully composed psychological drama, the film reveals the moral dilemmas faced by characters who must confront fate, destiny, coincidence and individual responsibility. Taking place over the course of five days, the film amounts to a stark illustration of the Sartrean premise that “man is condemned to be free. Condemned, because he did not create himself, yet…once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.”
