Marko Grba Singh

Vlada works as a truck driver during the NATO bombing of Serbia in 1999. Tasked with transporting a mysterious load from Kosovo to Belgrade, he drives through unfamiliar territory, trying to make his way in a country scarred by the war. He knows that once the job is over, he will need to return home and face the consequences of his actions.

A young couple is living at his parents' apartment. Frustrated at not being able to provide for themselves, they fight. She decides something has to change.

Abdul & Hamza, two Somali immigrants, are hiding in an abandoned house near Serbo-Romanian border.

At the Gaomeigu Observatory in China, the Naxi people scan the sky, convinced they are the descendants of immortal beings living there, abandoned on earth to watch them. Between astronomy and legends, Marko Grba Singh seems to compose a mysterious and polysemous tableau. From folk tales heroes such as William Tell, Prince Marko or Sanduo for the Naxi, passing by a miraculous catch, Gods besotted with each other, or the absence of walls built around a city because of the ambiguity of Chinese characters, 'Stars of Gaomeigu' dresses the bodies and contemporary images of mythological tales.

Marko spends time in the abandoned apartment of his childhood in Belgrade. Traces of the past are being drawn and memories, both idyllic and traumatic, are combined. The family VHS archive shows his universe during 1998 and 1999: gatherings, pets, videogames, and moments of uncertainty reveal a common life embraced by an historical event.

Mitrovica is a city in Kosovo ethnically divided between Albanians and Serbs. The landscape of the place frozen by conflict narrates two poems about the dying mothers. Two people seem to be lost in ruins and the cherry trees blossom.

Zoran lives on the streets of Belgrade. At night, he roams from one place to another, looking for a warm spot, a cigarette, a drink. Zoran looks exactly like your average homeless guy. But take a closer look and you will learn a story that has never been told before. Through Zoran’s words we discover another side of a bigger tragedy that has radically changed people and countries alike.

The residents of a Serbian village, who have withdrawn into an insular identity, must live together with illegal migrants who, on a stopover in their journey to the European land of milk and honey, must remain invisible. The power of Marko Grba Singh’s film to evoke this place of paradoxes comes from how he interplays elements of Balkan “farce” with a certain elegiac melancholy.
