When reality has a different script from the one in your films, who wouldn't invent a country to fool themselves? Using rare footage from dozens of forgotten Yugoslav films, as well as never-seen-before archive from film sets and Tito’s private screenings, the documentary recreates the narrative of a country, the stories told on screen and the ones hidden behind it. Stars such as Richard Burton, Sofia Loren and Orson Welles add a touch of glamour to the national effort, appearing in super-productions financed by the state. Tito’s favorite film director, his projectionist who showed him films every night for 30 years, the most famous actor of partisan films, and the director of the film studios who was a secret policeman - all tell how the history of Yugoslavia was constructed on the screen.

The Other Side of Everything
In an apartment divided by the authorities following the communist revolution, two families live side by side separated by a locked door. Over the years history returns to knock on the door affecting three generations, their personal and political struggles, into the war of the 90s and the revolution that follows. What is the place of history in the life of a family? What does it take to open a door?
