I BELIEVE IN ANGELS [JERUJEM U ANDJELE]
SUNDAY 3 OCTOBER AT 4:30PM
Sime is the postman of a small town built on an idyllic island. Well
loved by the locals he has penetrating insight into their lives and
the events of the town, even knowing what next week’s sermon
will be. But Sime has a secret: he has perfected an undetectable
technique for opening and resealing people’s letters and this
is how he knows so much about those around him. When Dea
moves to the town she becomes the subject of attention for the
town’s bachelors. Determined to win her, Sime starts courting
Dea, using her letters to a mysterious Klara as an insight into her
life. But Dea isn’t all that she seems and her involvement with
Sime may not be as coincidental as first thought.
A passion product for Niksa Svilicic, he wrote, directed, edited,
produced and acted in the film, although he admits he would
never do all that again! Shot on the beautiful island of Vis in the
Adriatic sea with beautiful, bright cinematography, I Believe in
Angels brings the wonderful flavour of a Mediterranean summer
to the big screen. A refreshing change from what has been a
trend towards dark and violent cinema in Eastern Europe, the
film is a timeless piece of cinema whose small setting and tight
community make for a story that could have been told anywhere
and at any time. JB
