Two nine-year-old girls report a flasher to the police even though they never saw him. Three filmmakers meet the only residents of a deserted village - an elderly brother and sister who have not spoken to each other in 16 years. Retired cleaning women are found raped and strangled in a small town. The fiction slowly turns into a documentary.

Pre svega unikatan film. 2 igrane priče i jedna dokuntarnog karaktera. Nisam gledao neki film sličan ovom. Iskreno prva mi je najslabija. Druga me je pokidala i kupila. Kadrovi i emocija. Treća je neverovatna, nisam imao pojma da se to desilo. Dobar film sve u svemu, vredan pažnje, ali iskreno mislim da nije za svakoga.
What is real and what is fiction?
This is one brilliant film that breaks the traditional storytelling, with three stories that are separate, or are they?
Spoilers bellow
----------------------------------------------------
The three stories aren't connected storywise, but they do have something in common, which ties them together. In the three stories the film has a balance between true and lie and in every story there is a deception. For me, the main story out of the three is the documentary and the other two try to help that story with some connections.
In the first story there is a pedophile that we don’t have a clue if that really is the one that the other girls saw or if he is…

Finally I watched this on a big screen. Thank you, Manaki Brothers Film Festival!
It's almost impossible to go and explain why I love this film so much and not go into spoilers. So take my word and if you do get a chance to watch this, please do! The worst thing it could happen is you seeing a different take to the classic documentary format. It's really smart film making, with a experimental technique that works incredibly well for the film. The second time I've seen some things that I didn't realize I've missed in the first time seeing this and I'm pretty sure that when I see this film again I'll see something new.
Two unspoilerish things I…
I'm not sure what I'm watching, one 15 minutes student short story, one 40 minutes short movie and then 1 hour long document movie. It doesn't fit to me like this.
