Tilva Ros is a Serbian film directed by Nikola Lezaic and released in 2010. The film follows the lives of two teenage friends, Toda and Stefan, who live in the industrial town of Bor in eastern Serbia. They spend their days skateboarding and filming amateur videos with their friends, dreaming of leaving the town and making it big in the world.
However, their dreams are shattered when a local mining company announces plans to demolish the old mine that has been at the heart of the town's economy for generations. As the town descends into chaos and protests, Toda and Stefan are forced to confront the harsh realities of the adult world, where corruption, greed, and betrayal reign supreme.
The film is a poignant coming-of-age story that captures the frustration and disillusionment of youth growing up in a post-industrial society. It explores the themes of friendship, loyalty, and the struggle to find one's place in a changing world.
Tilva Ros received critical acclaim for its raw and unflinching portrayal of contemporary Serbian society. It won several awards at international film festivals and was a box office success in Serbia, bringing attention to a generation of young filmmakers who are pushing the boundaries of Serbian cinema.
