She Is Alive

At the one side of the inner yard lives a mother, who is left alone by her husband, with a little boy and his sister. At the other side lives a wife with her husband, a geologist in pension, who has suffered a heavy stroke and now lives at the edge between life and death. These two women are trying to find ways to deal with their loneliness. The mother is desperately trying to find a man, and she becomes addicted of latinoamerican sope operas. On the other hand, the wife is trying to die along with her husband, and she's trying to kill every bit of sensuality left in her.

Directed by Strahinja Mlađenović, She Is Alive leans on a strong ensemble — Suzana Vuković, Minja Peković, Zoltan Pletl — 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 horror titles of 2016.
