In the Yugoslav post‑war countryside, Metod grows up amid hardship and isolation. An accusation that he set fire to a neighbor’s hayrack exposes deep family and social fractures. In 1948, on the uncertain post‑war Yugoslav countryside, Marjeta gives birth to twins, Metod and Cilka. Metod grows up largely alone and, in addition to his complicated relationship with his mother, is shaped by numerous external influences. In his early teenage years, he becomes entangled in conflicts with his peers and with a neighbor, Franc Kerna, who accuses him of arson. When the police take Metod away following the accusation, it triggers a surge of tension that ripples through the family.

Series info

In 1948, in the fragile post‑war countryside of socialist Yugoslavia, Marjeta gives birth to twins, Metod and Cilka. Withdrawn and volatile, Metod grows up in near isolation, shaped by a suffocating bond with his mother and a world marked by violence and repression. His impulsive behavior brings him into repeated conflict with society and the law, eventually leading to psychiatric treatment. After returning home and taking a job as a warehouseman, he appears outwardly stable, but inwardly deteriorates under the weight of alcohol, hallucinations, and relentless inner turmoil — until one night, the monster he has long concealed finally emerges.
