"[A] desolate portrait of misguided youth on the brink of maturity, desperately trying to find a sense and purpose in life." - Screen International

A few years back, first-time filmmaker Nikola Ležaić stumbled across a home-made documentary consisting of Jackass-inspired stunts made by Stefan, Toda and their skate team. He started hanging out with the guys and wrote a script based on the clips he saw in their film, stories they told him and his own memories of being a teen - then turned it into a feature film with Stefan, Toda and co. playing themselves.

That's Tilva Rosh: a pseudo-real, fresh, astutely rendered observation of slacker youth set against the desperate socioeconomic backdrop of Bor in eastern Serbia.
