I'm People, I am Nobody
While awaiting the outcome of his obscure trial process in Malta, sex offender Stevan records audio letters in the prison as a last effort to keep his dignity as a human being. A creative documentary directed by Svetislav Dragomirovic, produced by Lorand Balazs Imre.
Synopsis: After living in Malta for four years, facing loneliness and inability to connect with a foreign land and culture, Stevan (59) falls into a deep depression. As time passes, depression takes hold of his life, and during one critical moment, he exposes his genitals in front of a group of teenage girls. He claims he went to such extremes because it was the only thing that made him feel alive and visible. In a series of distorted telephone monologues from a Maltese prison, he tells us his story.
In the beginning, he admits his mistake and asks for help, but after some time is passed, and as he faces discrimination from fellow prisoners and a corrupted legal system, he starts changing, alongside with his story. His quasi-philosophical tracts and shady views about the world are creating allegories that weave a veil of illusion around the incident itself, misleading him from the truth and making him enter into an open war with everyone.
As the last stronghold of his fight, he chooses to launch a hunger strike. Instead of helping him end it, the prison places him in the psychiatric ward. Soon, he begins losing the race with his own physiology, and as his body weakens his mind finds a new stand. Stevan slowly begins to transform himself from a bitter and stubborn person to a lost and injured old man who regretfully looks to the past in the direction of his own mistakes.
