Kaymak
other title: 凯马克 / 情欲二重奏(台)
Eva and Metodi are young, rich and successful. He wants to have children, but she fears pregnancy. One day Eva drives to the village her family came from. There she arranges for a relative with intellectual disability to move in with them. She has a plan.
Danche and Caramba live in a crumbling house below Eva’s and Metodi’s luxury high rise. They are late middle-aged and feeling left behind. Every day Caramba comes home with fresh kaymak – soft cream cheese. Danche does not suspect that Caramba has fallen for the cheese monger at the green market until she finds them having sex in her marital bed.
The quiet rebellion of ordinary women and men against roles imposed on them by society makes them heroes of a story where everybody is both a victim and a perpetrator. Underneath its lighthearted exploration of the eternal search for love and happiness, Kaymak tackles more complex social issues – human trafficking, surrogacy, infidelity and sexual liberation.

other title: 柳树 / Врба
十七世紀,不孕的農家女與丈夫為了懷孕而求助神祕老嫗,允諾讓贈第一個孩子。然而孩子出生後,伴隨新生喜悅而來的,還有深深的懊悔,不想遵守承諾的他們,從此陷入鬼魅糾纏的陰影;二十一世紀,一場車禍讓布蘭柯遇見羅多娜,愛情為貧賤生活增添甜美滋味,卻無法抵禦受孕的心力交瘁,當雙胞胎之一被診斷異常時,拿掉與留下都是撕裂;不孕的凱特琳娜收養五歲男孩,但孩子不說話,穿不透的眼神與奔向死亡的行徑都讓人恐懼,如果你的孩子不是你生的孩子,是否還能跨越隔閡成為母子?
睽違多年,米丘曼契夫斯基再度重返馬其頓拍片,以三段從中世紀到現代的故事,訴說母性與生命的喜悅哀慟。精巧的劇作結構,讓角色心境與故事主題時而跨越疊合、時而映襯對照,命運與抉擇彼此緊密相扣、層層堆疊,終至爆發撕心裂肺的傷痛與和解。影片除了一展馬其頓文化的神祕內斂性格,絕美影像在自然風格中帶出視覺對比,輕觸魔幻寫實氣息。
