The Fall. Two school kids on the bridge are about to admit something very important. On the same day, the avalanche of events unfolded between men, by no means are randomly directed to each other. It will result in one stopping of the elevator, one wheelchair, one night tram, one suicide thread, PTSP, wild sex, difference between the years, long silence and driving in the unknown, standing in the rain, a brutal confession, a video from the past, the deception of the deaf refugee, the traces of the Second World War and a gentle kiss.
The film is a high-concept project with five stories exploring the themes of motherhood and pregnancy, directed by women filmmakers from five former Yugoslav republics. “Croatian Story” follows an anguished painter who must decide whether or not to keep one of her unborn twins, diagnosed with Down syndrome. “Serbian Story” finds an expectant mother in the same emergency room with a charming killer. “Bosnia-Herzegovina Story” centers on a financially strapped Sarajevo family whose son?s lover is pregnant. “Macedonian Story” unfolds in a clinic where a drug addict struggles to keep her baby, and “Slovenian Story” ends the omnibus on a humorous note with a nun who finds her own way to immaculate conception.
