Bal-Can-Can (Balcancan)
Boldly antic and filled with flights of fancy, director Darko Mitrevski's epic comedy has a whirlwind comic energy of its own. Humor modulates from the surreal to the fantastic, yet as the film progresses and issues of Balkan identity come to the fore, the line between comedy and tragedy becomes exhilaratingly tangled. When Trendafil attempts an escape from war-ravaged Macedonia, his mother-n-law dies from heat exhaustion. He calls upon Santino, a lovable lowlife linked to him by their past, and the two must take the grandmother back in an adventure mixed with the danger and terror of civil war and the absurdity of transporting a dead woman across countries in a rolled up carpet.
