Otapanje Vladara plot
In 19th-century Montenegro, the free mountain regions are surrounded by Turkish troops, isolated from the West, and steeped in conservatism, patriarchy, and superstition. Morlak, a poet and bishop inspired by the historical figure Petar II Petrović Njegoš, leads his tribe in a resistance against the invaders. Seriously ill, he is sent to southern Italy in search of a cure. His journey takes him to a house in Naples, a city in stark contrast to the isolated hills of his homeland. As Morlak contemplates his existence, his faithful servant Djuko struggles with deep nostalgia, driven by the fear of his master’s death in a foreign land.
