Concrete Dreams

Concrete Dreams

In the golden days of socialism, with little access to western capitalist goods, DIY (do it yourself) became a very popular concept in Yugoslavia. And so it emerged the idea of building concrete yachts. However most of these boats remained unfinished, like the dreams of their builders, aging as those who have dreamt them up. Some of them are still there, after their owners are gone, a strange inheritance for their children – others are about to flip over on the family house. And some – are still filled with adventure – and hope. This film explores what happens to our dreams – and how our love can ultimately be the thing that drags us to the bottom – happily.
