, will world premiere in IDFA's Luminous strand on 20 November.

The story is set in Belgrade, where in 1961, there were plans to build a grand museum as a tribute to Socialist Yugoslavia. Meant to "safeguard the truth" about the Yugoslav people, the plan never got beyond the construction of the basement. The derelict building now tells a very different story from the one envisioned by its initiators 60 years ago. In the damp, pitch-dark space live the outcasts of a society reshaped by capitalism. In detail, the documentary centres on a girl who earns cash by cleaning car windows with her mother. Meanwhile, the child develops a close friendship with an old woman who also lives in the basement. Against the background of a transforming city, the three women find refuge in each other.
