Shot in Küstendorf, based on a script by Stribor, this film is a command of UNICEF and gathers 7 short films by 8 directors coming from different places : Mehdi Charef, Spike Lee, Kátia Lund, Jordan & Ridley Scott, Stefano Veneruso and John Woo. The whole film was released in 2006 under the name All the invisible children.
Uros (the gypsy with blue eyes), is about to be released from the juvenile detention center in which he has spent quite a long time.
He is facing the mixed feelings that he has towards his release; dealing again with his Father who forces him to steal yet being supposedly freed into the outside world.
Uros' choice will become clear once he will find himself cornered...
Emir Kusturica about this short film : "This film is different especially for its length, because I had to compress my ideas in less than 20 minutes, something which I learned from the commercial films, but it was especially interesting to make a film which, in some way, shows things that people don't know. As in my other projects, I express my observations, my obsessions but it's the first time since the cinema school which I make a film like this one. Somebody gave me a key which I transformed into a script."
Like in most of his other films, the human being is in the heart of the history: "do you make a film on the basis of the beat of modernity or on the basis of the beat of your heart?".
