The third feature by Serbian director Miroslav Terzić, 3 Weeks After, is set to world-premiere in Karlovy Vary's Crystal Globe Competition. Cineuropa exclusively brings you the film's poster.

Known for drama-thrillers such as Redemption Street (2012) and Stitches (2019), as well as the TV series Tycoon (2020), Terzić returns with a secondary-school bullying drama inspired by real events, but not based on any specific case.

What begins as an ordinary high-school trip gradually exposes the tensions, alliances and unspoken cruelties within a seemingly ordinary class. When their bus breaks down, a group of students and their teachers become stranded in a remote, crumbling hotel. Among them is Zoza, haunted by the recent suicide of his best friend, Andrija. As old wounds resurface and the group’s fragile hierarchy begins to crack, the trip turns into a confrontation with guilt, silence and the need to belong.

Zoza is played by Jovan Ginić, who broke out in Vladimir Perišić's Lost Country, and the cast also includes Klara Karaulić from How I Learned to Fly, a group of first-timers gathered through secondary-school auditions, as well as regional stars Tihana Lazović and Branislav Trifunović, who play their teachers.

3 Weeks After is a co-production between Serbia's This and That Productions, Bulgaria's Invictus, Italy's Nightswim, Croatia's Kinorama and Luxembourg's Paul Thiltges Distributions. Bendita Film Sales has the international rights, and it will premiere at Karlovy Vary on 7 July.
