Four people rest in the branches of a leafy tree in a meadow. A man lies stretched across one branch, two boys perch higher up, and an older man stands at the trunk, holding on gently. The scene feels quiet, natural, and intimate.

Wind, Talk to Me
(Vetre, pričaj sa mnom)

  •   Stefan Djordjevic
  •   Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia

Returning to his family’s country home for his grandmother’s birthday, filmmaker Stefan Djordjević brings along his camera, hoping to complete a film he’d be making about his mother—a project tragically interrupted by her passing. While en route on the rainsoaked back roads, he accidentally hits a stray dog. Guilt-ridden, he decides to bring her along and nurse her back to health.

Enlisting the help of his family to play themselves, Djordjevic blends footage of his late mother with staged, modern-day scenes of his relatives’ remembrances to create an intimate, tender tribute to her life and memory. Featuring a winning cast of characters, and an impeccable canine performance, all set against the backdrop of the bucolic Serbian backwoods, Wind, Talk to Me is a vulnerable, moving work of docufiction that reflects, remembers, and grieves through its art.
