Synopsis
The Gods Must Be Mistaken tells the personal story of a family across half a century of European history, marked by upheaval, hope, destruction and new beginnings. It is the story of a family who could never allow itself to separate the political from the personal.
The grandmother, fought as a partisan against fascism and for the revolution in former Yugoslavia. The mother rebelled against that revolution and saw her country go up in flames – in a new war. I, her son, am making a film about their stories entering into a dialogue with them. About missing gods, an end that is not, and the price that must be borne for never giving up.
