OASIS
O.V. in Serbian subtitled in Spanish and English
This is the story of a love triangle between three teenagers: Maria, Dragana and Robert. The exalted emotions of first love have a nuance here, as all three are patients in a facility for people with intellectual disabilities. In this sensitive (but unsentimental) approach to a closed world normally hidden from the eyes of society, and based on a real events; Ikić used three young interns as actors to play the energetic and impulsive Maria and Dragana, and the distant and silent Robert, in a story worthy of Goethe or von Kleist.
