Darkling
No one can protect us from fear
Directed by Dušan Milić
Produced by Firefly Productions
A haunting portrait of trauma and paranoia in post-war Kosovo, where a child's search for her missing father and an elder's psychological unraveling expose the invisible wounds of conflict.
In NATO-occupied Kosovo, a little girl writes an essay for the United Nations about her father who has gone missing. Meanwhile, the girl's grandfather becomes increasingly paranoid of the unseen threats that lurk in the dark.
