A Film on Seven Mortal Sins
Seven stories ‘from the neighborhood’ are metaphorical stories of Seven Mortal Sins. They deal, in a humorous way, with everyday lives of the people obsessed with their weaknesses and driven by passions. Nothing human is strange to them and, having their own concept of ethics, they don’t hesitate to go beyond moral boundaries. Yet the story of Seven Mortal Sins doesn’t tend to moralize – it shows that there is and should be a moment of redemption although the characters make mistakes. Their lives, in Christian terms, aren’t sinful, and their weaknesses are caused by the context we live in. Therefore, this story repeatedly calls out for laughter. To conquer the fear and problems, to be self-ironic to laugh at themselves – it’s the way of transcending one’s pain. The heroes get hurt by the fact that they need so little but at the same time so much to be happy.
“Dealing with the topic of mortal sins in the film ‘Seven and a Half’, through several separate stories, Momcilovic presents an incredibly authentic picture of our mentality, but also a universal picture of people.” – Etrafika.net
“Momčilović gets the help of a complete cast that interprets his ‘highrise vignettes’ with incredible dedication and zeal, finely colored with juicy slang language, occasional witty twists and layered characters that make every destiny too tight.” – B92.net
