Beautiful Evening, Beautiful Day

Synopsis

Spanning decades, the film follows lovers Lovro and Nenad and their lifelong friendship with Stevan and Ivan, a group of gay partisans-turned-filmmakers navigating life in post-WWII Communist Yugoslavia. As they rise to fame, they are forced to create propaganda for the regime, risking everything to protect their identities and each other. Though accepted by their families and peers, state surveillance and political suspicion threaten to unravel their lives and careers. Tasked with sabotaging them is Emir, a party loyalist hiding his own secrets, whose loyalties begin to falter. A poignant story of resistance — against oppression, against silence, and for the freedom to live and love without fear.
