| Summary: | The story follows a music teacher at a Belgrade educational center in the 1970s. Once a brilliant piano player, Mihailo now cannot even touch the piano as he is deeply traumatized by the events of his youth. When young Olgica, giving modeling lessons, enters his school, everything changes in his lonely life and they start a relationship. Instantly, pictures from the past and scary premonitions of the future start flashing before him. With time, the situations which encounters seem to him as if they were repeated – a déjà vu. Living in an unhappy environment, Olgica sees the opportunity of a lifetime in the organization of a major socialistic event in the centre. She manages to involve everybody in the preparations and persuades Mihailo to play the piano. Still, Mihailo’s old traumas will not leave him. Frustrated with his inability to play, bemused with the merging of past and present in his mind and driven by jealousy towards a married karate teacher, Mihailo commits a terrible crime. 20 years later, the narrator from the beginning of the film now reveals himself as Olgica’s brother and has a chance for revenge. |
