An interview with Kosta Djordjević, the director of "Sweet Sorrow", interviewer Helena Maarja Tarro.
The secret to make films that touch young people is honesty.
After the death of his grandmother, Relja is faced with the dilemma of organizing her funeral, as his mother, Olga, refuses to do so due to their rocky relationship. Relja, who initially has little interest in the funeral, sees an opportunity to win over his crush Ana, who shows him emotional support during this difficult time. Against his mother's wishes, Relja takes on the task of organizing the funeral, using his wit and cunning to navigate between love and death. Will his risky plan succeed, or will it only make things worse for everyone involved?
In the film, actress Branka Katic, playing Relja's mother, has acted alongside Johnny Depp in the movie ""Public Enemies"" (2009) and delivered a remarkable performance alongside Ralph Fiennes and Rhys Ifans in the film ""The King's Man"" (2021).
