SYNOPSIS

SAVO, a middle-aged history teacher in Belgrade, is uptight and rude because he believes he is self-sufficient. During a visit to his parents in his small hometown, Savo displays impatience towards his father, whose illness and weakness irritate him. He spends time on a video chat site with anonymous men during which his father catches him sucking his own penis. Next day he helps out with the family’s Saint feast and avoids discussing his ex-boyfriend RASTKO. His mother suggests that Savo move back and assume the role of the head of the family. Certain that his father saw him last night, Savo is irritated by the lack of reaction from him. Back in Belgrade, Savo encounters a genderless person in his apartment who oddly resembles him but mysteriously disappears before the police arrive. Next day, after a classroom incident, Savo gets into a physical conflict with the student's mother, from which he emerges defeated. Humiliated, Savo vents his anger on the student by publicly humiliating him. In his hometown for Christmas, Savo discovers that his parents are missing. He becomes aggressive and demolishes the family house. Upon spotting a genderless figure, Savo follows it down the hallway and vanishes into the darkness. Flashback. Savo and Rastko (his boyfriend) celebrate Christmas Eve at Savo’s family home with his parents. Savo appears content and happy, unlike his present-day self, but his mood suddenly shifts during the dinner. He leaves for solitude. Outside, he gets lost in a blizzard, only to be carried away by a mysterious, genderless figure. Savo's father is in a coma. During a hospital visit, Savo performs an act of castration by covering his and his father's genitalia with duct tape, imitating the genderless person from his 'dream'. Only then, accepting his non-masculine side, is he able to say goodbye to his father.
