Route – 3

6/6/2020 // 5:15 PM // Online Premiere

(Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, 13 min, 2019)

Director: Thanasis Neofotistos

Synopis: In a tram on Route-3, the Old Lady in the leopard dress treats the passengers with juicy oranges during a hot, but rainy day in the centre of Sarajevo. Nadja, the princess-teen in her pink hijab; Luka, the virgin bully; an Orthodox Priest; an old creepy man and many, many more ordinary people in this tram have nothing in common, but a juicy slice of orange. All except a shy, yet horny, teenager named Amar.
