Someone Else

Vanja is an extremely moody and introverted nine-year-old boy who grows up next to a single mother. She is going through relationship problems with her boyfriend. In order to revive the romance, the mother and her boyfriend go on a trip and hire a neighbor, Vesna, to take care of Vanja. At the beginning, Vanja is in a hostile mood towards Vesna, but his defensive attitude is slowly giving way to the care and attention that Vesna gives him, which was missing in his life…

Directed by Milorad Milatović, Someone Else leans on a strong ensemble — Ognjen Ćetković, Jelena V. Đukić, Ana Vučković — 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 2020.
