Birthday

Birthday is a film about a group of teenagers who find a bizarre way for entertainment. One rainy evening, Marko and Kecko join in to celebrate Milan eighteenth birthday. It starts as a typical birthday party in which they indulge in hedonism and vices. Knowing that Milan is still a virgin and is desperately in love with their class teacher Nevena, Marko decides to make him an offer he can not refuse.

Directed by Kosara Mitić, Birthday leans on a strong ensemble — Nikola Kolev, Deniz Abdula, Aleksandar Mihajlovski — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2016.
