It's Christmas! That's a good thing, right? Not in this movie.
Majka (Ivana Roscic), her husband Otac (Goran Bogdan) and son Sin (Roko Sikavica) are prepping for the holiday visit of Uncle Stric (Predrag Manjolovic). When he arrives on Christmas Day, it's filled with home movies and turkey.
Well, that sounds good, right?
Maybe Stric was a little judgemental and a bit strange, but that's how relatives we see one day a year are.
Except that the family resets and the day starts all over again. And again. And, horribly, again.
Directors and writers David Kapac and Andrija Mardesic capture the 1980s and the wonder - and fear - of the season. The uncle is rich - the Mercedes is our answer to that question - and he soon exudes a command over the rest of the family. It takes something strange in you to combine Groundhog Day with Last House On the Left, yet this movie pulls it off with style to spare.
It's pretty amazing that this is the first movie from these filmmakers.
