Have You Seen This Woman?

Dušan Zorić/Matija Gluščević
RS/HR , 2022, 79 Min

One woman, three lives: Draginja and a dead body in her apartment. Draginja with a fake child and fake husband. Draginja, who can't remember anything. Three ways for this woman in her mid-fifties to get out of her skin. And thereby fool all of those around her. Between humour and anger, escapism and provocation. A satirical, philosophical reflection on gender roles from Serbia.

A woman disappears; or does she? Draginja loses herself in identity issues. In her role promoting a tour operator, as a guardian angel for younger soul mates in a local club, as a representative for a new make of vacuum cleaner, as a fake mother with a fake husband: staged identities that range from a floral apron and housewife’s bouffant hairdo to enraptured dancing and a yearning for a fight, all as easy as that. A fragmentary diary of female dissatisfaction featuring every imaginable role attribution: Who am I, who are you, what is family, what is society, what are role models? Consistent in its unconventional meta-level perspective, this reflection on gender roles follows in the tradition of the Yugoslav Black Wave, just as down-to-earth as it is intellectual, the only difference being that it’s modern.
