Three women of different ages meet in an eye clinic waiting room. Listening to a conversation between older women, young girl Saša learns about the tragedy that left one of them visually impaired. Indifference turns to a feeling of closeness and acknowledgement. But the possibility of communication is irretrievably lost. Belladonna was awarded Best Short in the Horizons program at Venice and received a Special Mention at Checkers in 2015. ZFF’s Main Program this year presents her feature debut Traces, soon also screening in competition at the Warsaw Film Festival.
