Cirkus Columbia

Danis Tanović used the theme of his homeland in his valued debut, No Man's Land (2001), and returns to the topic in this film. After 20 years abroad, a Yugoslavian emigrant, Divko, returns to his home village where he left his wife and child. Communism has just fallen, and Divko brings from the West not only a pack of money, but also a young fiancée. Before he begins a new life, he must face up to his past. He has no idea that his plans will be disrupted by a civil war. Whoever wants to save their lives must flee. However, Divko has been running for twenty years. The film excels in depicting the atmosphere of the postcommunist era in a village where members of both the old and new regime coalesce. (Febiofest)
