The Swan Bride
In Swan Bride we witness the clash of generations through a portrait of the members of a music band during their tour in the Balkans. The musicians define themselves against the mass pop culture that dominates the media. They rebel against the visions of their parents and long for the fulfillment of their own dreams. Disillusioned by the world of business and money, they look for more, although they don’t see what it should be. „Maybe it’s time to clear our heads and decide what comes next,” says the bass player Fuxo, the head of the group. On their way to the Balkans in a white van they try to straighten out their plans and ambitions. The movie is a documentary about decisions, attitudes and plans that will lead to a revival of their enthusiasm or to the end of their band.
