Majka Mara

Serbia 2024 Fiction cor 96’

Mara, a successful businesswoman and single mother, suddenly loses her son to an untimely death. She refuses to show emotions for any communication in the matter with her friends and family. With her trauma buried, she meets Milan, her son’s friend. She only intends to use him to find out more about her son’s life, but the emotions they both share towards the boy and his sudden death bring them together, and they begin a physical relationship. Although she wants to keep him at a distance and keep their relationship purely physical, she realizes that enjoys his company. Little by little, true closeness makes them finally surrender to the mature feelings of two adults.
