If you wish for something hard enough, will the whole universe work in your favour? Stela fell in love with a Balkan musician after seeing him on TV. Determined to meet him, she accepts help from Vera, a glam starlet rumoured to be his mistress. Their worlds collide when Vera promises to rescue Stela from her poverty-stricken life by taking her to Bucharest, where she runs a sex-products business.
Sorella di Clausura is the new film by Serbian-Romanian director Ivana Mladenović, the world premiere of which is taking place in competition at the upcoming Locarno Film Festival (6-16 August).
Ivana Mladenović says, "Primarily, this is an empathetic parody of romantic melodramas. Set on the outskirts of the Balkans during the 2008 crisis, it explores the link between sex and money – if sex can be a substitute for money in a collapsing world."
