Love in a Time of Protest: The Complex Beauty of 'Until the Day Ends' As the 83rd Venice Film Festival approaches, Serbian debutante Jelena Maksimović's "Until the Day Ends" is generating buzz as the first female director from Serbia to showcase a narrative feature since Soja Jovanović in 1966.
The film's technical achievements and emotional journey are notable, but what sets it apart is its nuanced portrayal of love amidst social upheaval.
Set against the backdrop of anti government protests in Belgrade, "Until the Day Ends" follows Lena (Lena Trifunović) and Stefan (Andrija Krivokapić), two young individuals from opposite sides of the societal divide who find themselves falling for each other.
