A modern film noir reflecting the true face of Serbian “society in transition,” The Trap is an archetypal story of a parent’s worst nightmare—a dying child—and how far a man is willing to go to save him. In post-Milosevic’s Serbia there is no more war, however normal life remains almost unreachable. When Mladen is offered an only chance to save his son, he must confront moral and existential demons and decide how to measure the worth of a human life.

The Trap received the Best Director and Best Actor awards at the Milano International Film Festival, and screened at numerous festivals worldwide. The film was Serbia’s entry for consideration in the Best Foreign Film category at the 2007 Academy Awards.

In Serbo-Croatian with English subtitles. (115 minutes)
