Pismo Ocu plot

The filmmaker's father dies unexpectedly in a Serbian hospital. He died alone; he did not inform anyone of his admission. Why not? The son walks around with unanswered questions, which only become more urgent as he sorts through his father's leftovers - his photos, letters and video tapes. Questions about his childhood in the former Yugoslavia, about his parents' relationship and about the war that also affected this family. Did his father's relationships influence his life choices? In this very personal film, the filmmaker speaks with his mother, his father's childhood friends and his uncle who struggles with alcohol. The emotional conversations show how normal citizens were also involved in the horror of the Balkan war and still struggle with it.
