 OFFICIAL SELECTION 

Lazarus Path

DIRECTED BY

Ivan Jovic

Synopsis:

After years of traveling as a street artist, motionless sculpture, Lazar finds himself on a small Mediterranean island. He starts to miss home but his departure from island is complicated by an inability to properly communicate with island’s administration. We follow tiresome work on collecting documents which should enable him to leave. Meetings with administration clerks become more and more peculiar. Their questions go beyond the administrative boundaries and are stepping into the most intimate parts of Lazar’s life.

Lazar feels trapped in twisted Kafkian reality while he walks from one to another office of the island’s administration and patiently answers their questions and meets their demands, all the while carrying heavy black box which holds his “complete documentation”. The tedious process of collecting documentation turns into a re-examination life’s meaning and deep secrets hidden from oneself.

This story, unusual in its content, reminds us that responsibility comes from the existential fact that life is a chain of questions to which a person must answer by being responsible to himself and others by deciding which answer to give to each individual question, and also that for each question there is only one answer – the true one.
