When The Day Had No Name
Directed by Teona Strugar Mitevska
Milan and his best friend Petar prepare an adventurous excursion with some other teenagers from the outskirts of Skopje. They are adrenalized for a boys' night out of drinking and horseplay before an early morning fishing expedition.
They are typical teenagers full of sexual and romantic tensions and angst about money and material things. Their night of fun is tainted by ethnic tensions and a visit gone wrong to a teenaged prostitute...

"The film has a pressure cooker atmosphere of building tension" SCREEN
"Teona Strugar Mitevska's fourth feature is her most accomplished and rewarding film to date" CINEUROPA
"Mitevska arrives at her message from different places, fortifying it through sometimes sophisticated, and sometimes blunt, means, but cinematically, When the Day Had No Name is a tightly directed film with a rough and strong visual style, and powerful sound design that takes over the task of storytelling in well-chosen places, especially when Jean Paul Dessy's disturbing, tension-creating music kicks in."
