Sugar People

Elena, a young woman with HIV meets a young romantic man, Fillip, at a traffic intersection in the city of Skopje. They spend the next couple of days walking around the city and getting to know each other, forming a special bond. Their strong feelings for each other make them long for more time together, leading them to reveal more about themselves than they normally would, since both believe they will never see one another again. And what if their once in a lifetime encounter at the street light was just a possibility for creating a story, which might have never ever happen even happened?

Directed by Suzana Dinevski, Sugar People leans on a strong ensemble — Sara Klimoska, Filip Trajkovikj — 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 2022.
