Synopsis

Globetrotter Lazar returns home to attend his father's funeral, where he meets Leni, his best friend from childhood days, who has meanwhile grown up to be a woman. A strong feeling of their former connectedness soon flares up again, although the years of separation have obviously left some traces. They embark on a wild bicycle trip together across the gorgeous, sun-baked landscape of Northern Serbia – two young people loudly and vehemently rebelling against adult life. However, in the course of their trip, questions come up which Leni in particular has not expected.

The Disobedient is a film praising the virtues of youth. Mina Djukic's romantic comedy is both thought-provoking and high-spirited. It is a coming-of-age film that also shows how wonderful life can be if you reconnect with your soul mate. And how complicated, if suddenly other feelings get in the way. Outstanding: beautiful landscape scenes and cinematography where the director – instead of following a predetermined script – has relied on the team's sense of timing to catch the right moment.
