FLESH

Meso (Flesh) is a bitter-sweet story. The protagonists of this series are Mirko and Slavko – people whose names are evoking past, but who in their own way fight the misfortunes of the time in which they live.

Mirko is a mediocre football player at the end of his career, with an uncertain future in sports, who returns to his native Banja Luka where he finds a demented mother, an introverted brother and a girlfriend who, far from her home, cries out for attention and love, and finds them in wrong places.

He also found something else – his father’s barbecue restaurant, whose former fame left only faint reputation that their ćevapi are “better than Mujo’s”. Although its fate is uncertain, both due financial reasons and due to great plans equally great businessmen are forging for it. One of them is Slavko, Mirko’s childhood friend, who suddenly reappears in his former friend’s life, just when he needs him the most. Their destinies will be completely intertwined and affect the life stories of many people around them. While Mirko and Slavko are looking for their own ways to solving life’s problems, but also to answer how much humanity is still left in them.

This is a second big cinematographic project produced in Republika Srpska, which on its own has exceptional artistic and social impact, notably contributed by big names behind this project.
