A Serbian Film

Miloš is a semi-retired Serbian porn star who hopes one last big payday will secure his family’s future. He is drawn into an 'art film' project under Vukmir's direction, but soon finds his memory and boundaries compromised by manipulation and coercive circumstances. Faced with escalating demands, Miloš spirals as he is pushed into acts he cannot fully recall or morally endorse. His pursuit of stability clings to a fragile hope that his family can escape poverty and danger.

Marija is Miloš’s wife, the anchor of his home life who remains supportive despite financial and personal pressures. She becomes entangled in the film’s dark undertakings and ultimately acts to defend her family. After learning the depth of the danger surrounding Miloš, she faces brutal consequences and confronts the prospect of a grim ending for their family. Her resilience and love drive pivotal moments toward a collective act of defiance.

Vukmir is a well-connected, manipulative director with a history in psychology, television, and state-security circles. He orchestrates Miloš’s participation in the film and uses psychological and logistical control to stage events. He treats cinema as a tool for power and profit, praising brutal acts as exemplary 'cinema.' His presence embodies corruption and the commodification of violence for entertainment.

Lejla is Miloš’s former co-star who lures him toward the provocative project. She becomes a target within the film’s brutal, staged world and, as the tapes reveal, falls victim to the perpetrators’ design. Her arc emphasizes the vulnerability of performers drawn into a merciless system. Lejla’s fate underscores the dehumanizing cost of this industry’s dark fantasies.

Marko is Miloš’s jealous brother and a corrupt police officer who envies Miloš’s family life. He participates in the film’s brutal acts and is eventually revealed as a key assailant in the events that unfold. His role exposes the corrosion of trust within family and state institutions. Marko’s downfall unfolds as the family fights back against the cycle of violence.

Raa is Vukmir’s driver and a loyal operative within the illicit setup. He assists in coordinating the disturbing situations Miloš endures and becomes a marked foe in the final confrontation. The character embodies the cold efficiency of a crime network that operates behind a veneer of legitimacy. His arc culminates in a fatal encounter with Miloš and the family.
