Macedonian director Teona Strugar Mitevska's fourth feature film, was shown in the Berlinale's Panorama programme. When the Day Had No Name is a story of a lost generation harmed by the social change in the Balkans. In 2012, the bodies of a few Macedonian teenagers were found almost a lake outside Skopje, after six ordinary boys went out on a fishing expedition. In the film, amid the following 24 hours together, they become more acquainted with each other better and start to give their covers a chance to drop. They toy with each other's feelings, move around to old pop tunes, conflict with a few Albanians, put their sexual attraction under serious scrutiny – and look for an approach to vent their desire for life in a disappointing society. The film is not a crime story in the mood of Hollywood, nor a documentary about the events and the investigation of the murder of four young men in Smilkovsko Lake. The last exercise of Mitevska is a creative reflection of several post-pubertal life stories on which is woven atmosphere long after the last part remains in the soul.
