Melancholy

Mr. Ante, a protégé of a home for the elderly in Zagreb, was in love with the most beautiful girl in the world - Zdravka. From those days he remembers only one school trip to the theater, and that he was sitting next to her and wanted to touch her hands. Whether he succeeded or not, Mr. Ante does not remember because memory is a doubting matter. The memory is distorted over time, and the events experienced merge into one another. The only thing left are the emotions experienced. Mr. Ante is not sure whether he took Zdravka by the hand or not, but he remembers the feelings of that day. Exploring the collective experience of feeling first love, the performer Gendis Putri Kartini merges her own story with that of Mr. Ante and invites viewers to reminisce about their first love through the performance.
