About the show
Vida (Nataša Ninković) and Bane (Sergej Trifunović) are a couple who have lived in Stockholm for years. They have successful careers, enough money for a comfortable life and a dog — but no children. Vida suspects Bane keeps a mistress back in Belgrade, yet keeps her suspicion to herself. Returning home for the holidays, the familiar surroundings set in motion a rehearsed choreography they have repeated many times in their life as expatriates. This Easter, the wall of silence between them begins to crack.
