OUTSIDE THE ORANGES ARE BLOOMING
Nevena Desivojević | Serbia, Portugal 2019 | 21 Min. | OmeU
Austrian Premiere
High up in the Portuguese mountains one man is standing his ground in an otherwise empty village. Wandering through the misty nature, roaming between the walls of his dark house, he bewails his condition as a man doomed to serve the surrounding he has rejected.
Through sparse dialogue between the protagonist and the filmmaker, as well as the barren atmosphere in the pictures, Outside the Oranges are blooming underscores the solitude of a disappearing village and the (internal) retreat of its last resident.
