​A contemporary socio-psychological collective portrait of people in a typical Bulgarian urban environment, practicing jobs that are widely hated. 

They are of different age, with different occupations, attitudes, life experiences, and dreams. 

They work as ticket inspectors and parking wardens. Our characters’ performance of their duties attracts anger and hate on a daily basis, because they enforce the laws and regulations, in general and on an everyday level. We intend to show them in a juxtaposition: both as representatives of the law and as ordinary human beings like the rest of us – interesting and likable.

THINGS THAT BRING US TOGETHER
(OUT OF COMPETITION)

The project "Things that bring us together" represents a series of short video stories about the interests and problems of the young people from the Western Balkans. We believe that these stories can make a positive impact and contribute to a better understanding of the region, because growing cultural values is one of the most powerful tools for reconciliation and building a better future in the region. The goal of the project “Things that bring us together” is to connect young people from N. Macedonia, Kosovo, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro and to lead them into discovering their common interests, places, universal values, everyday challenges, fears, love and struggles.

The project is realized by:
- International University EUROPA PRIMA - Skopje
in collaboration with:
- Faculty of Arts, Pristina University - Pristina
- University of arts - Tirana
- Faculty of visual arts, Mediterranean University - Podgorica
- Banja Luka College - Banja Luka
- Stardust Art - Belgrade
