A locked door inside a Belgrade home has kept one family separated from their past for generations. An intimate conversation between the director, Mila Turajlić, and her mother, the dynamic activist and scholar Srbijanka Turajlić, reveals a house and a country haunted by history. What begins as the chronicle of a childhood home grows into an elegant portrait of a charismatic and brilliant woman in times of great political turmoil.

"An historic step for Serbian cinema... Powerful and honest." —Vice Magazine

"Fascinating; a standout... A stirring portrait of one of the most galvanizing voices for political action in contemporary documentary cinema." —The Independent
