This isn't your average missing-child thriller. It's raw, unsettling, and deeply personal. When Aleksandra, a war refugee trying to rebuild her life in Serbia, loses her daughter to a sudden and mysterious abduction, what follows isn’t just a search—it’s a descent. With a haunting performance by Sonia Alexa, the film paints a chilling picture of what happens when systems fail and trauma resurfaces. The 48-hour police delay feels like a punch to the gut, forcing Aleksandra into Belgrade’s shadowy underbelly alone, clutching at cryptic clues and unraveling far more than just her daughter's disappearance. The film leans heavily into psychological tension. At times, you’re not sure what’s real and what’s a projection of Aleksandra’s unraveling mind—and that’s precisely the point. The line between truth and delusion is razor-thin, and the film walks it masterfully. Gritty, atmospheric, and emotionally charged, this is a story of love, loss, and how far one woman will go when the world turns its back. It’s not easy to watch—but that’s exactly why it matters.
