Sharac
Marko Kovacevski (76), after the discovery of his heart condition (arrhythmia), loses will for any social life. He smokes cigarettes, drinks coffee and watches quizzes the whole day. For three years Marko is reluctant to even go to the regular scheduled doctor’s control. Everything starts to change when he receives an unexpected phone call from his son Alek (40), who at this point is in the club with father’s very good high school friend Zhana (75). Zhana informs Marko that many people from their High School generation are going to the club to play quizzes, practice yoga and do many other activities. Slowly but surely, Marko is gathering courage to get up and go to the club. His first two attempts are unsuccessful, but when finally faces his childhood friends, he joins them in the quiz team and wins. His spirit is changed, the lethargy is gone and Marko pushes himself to schedule a doctor’s control, to the surprise of his wife Biljana.
