Stairway

When you are away from an environment which evokes intense memories, especially if those are memories from your childhood, your imagination makes that environment larger and more beautiful. When you return to the place you craved for, you are often disappointed - that room is not all that nice and big, that street is empty or rainy, etc.

Directed by Miroslav Mandić, Stairway leans on a strong ensemble — Davor Golubović, Liza Marijina, Lovro Karunc Dobravc — 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 2015.
