Larger than life and decked out in outrageous 1990s garb, Serbian pop star Doris Bizetić recounts her experiences as a former child star in a war-torn country. A tightly framed film, set in several distinct and technicolor sets lending it an air of artificiality not soon to be forgotten. (catalogue text, IFFR 2018)
