Festival Circuit & Premieres

Directed by Leon Ristov

3AM in Skopje, North Macedonia. In the dead of night, a teenager sneaks out to meet a 40-year-old man he’s been messaging online. When their car gets stuck in the remote woods, isolation strips away fantasy, forcing him to reckon with power, desire, and the possibility of real danger.

Directed by Dzan Harba
