Experiencing Interruptions?

Somber Days

The film "Somber days" follows Damir, a high school student who at first glance does not differ from his friends, he has a girlfriend and everyday worries. However, behind the smile hides growing pressure: debt, family conflicts and a sense of hopelessness. As he tries to maintain a semblance of normality, his world gradually collapses. Misunderstanding of the environment and internal struggle with his own thoughts lead him to the verge of breaking. Through visually powerful images, the film shows moments when youth and hope sink under the burden of reality. Somber Days is a story of silent suffering, loss of control and the fine line between despair and resistance.
