Dog and the Wind

Zoya is a drummer in a band. On her last night out before going abroad, she meets Luka. The connection they make might be deeper than they think.

Dog and the Wind is a story about a mystical moment, of a seemingly brief encounter, one summer night in Belgrade. Zoya is a young girl adamant to continue her life outside of Serbia. She spends her last night out at a bar, where she meets Luka. As the night progresses, a casual conversation turns into a realization that every ending leaves space for a new beginning.
