<p>  </p> <p> <strong>Synopsis</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> This is a one sequence movie that focuses on Martin, 35 years old, who comes back to his home country Macedonia after 20 years for the funeral of his mother. A day before he leaves he needs to decide if he's going to sell his mother's apartment. His doubts start to raise as the film continues. His memories come back with all the people that come to visit him the day before his departure. The nostalgia and the sweet memories from his childhood come around.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Intention</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> This is a film that is very intimate and familiar to me. Since I have been living in Paris, France for the past 5 years, I feel estranged when I come to my hometown. Yet, it's certain people and memories that make home feel like home. Martin, the principal character comes home for the funeral of his mother and is overwhelmed with emotions that he has to deal with and yet stay strong in front of his daughter as a single parent. For him it becomes even more difficult when goes back to her apartment where everything is the same as in his childhood memories, as if time has stopped in this place. The film is set in a nostalgic and heart warming atmosphere.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Director</strong></p> <p> Tanja Todorova</p> <p> <a href="https://scontent-vie1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/10402887_641353422610051_1488003067337211472_n.jpg?oh=687b0b3ca6e15fad0739867e20a01504&amp;oe=5638D81A" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://scontent-vie1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/10402887_641353422610051_1488003067337211472_n.jpg?oh=687b0b3ca6e15fad0739867e20a01504&amp;oe=5638D81A"></a></p> <p> Tanja Todorova is a graduate film student in the final year of the University of Paris Master's program.
