Paper Planes

(Matjaz Klopcic, Yugoslavia, 1967, 35mm, 80 min)

Marko (Polde Bibic) is a photographer who leads a fast, fashionable life, full of parties and transient affairs. Yet there's emptiness inside him and he longs for something of real value in his life. While examining a film he helped shoot for a TV program, he discovers what he's after: a beautiful young woman, caught momentarily on film, who embodies an innocence that was long ago lost to him. When a chance meeting at an art gallery introduces him to the object of his fascination - Vera (Snezana Niksic), a promising ballet dancer - Marko is more smitten than ever. But how much of the real Vera could any photograph capture? Beautifully acted by its two leads, Paper Planes (Na papirnatih avionih) is a delicate, quietly observed meditation on modern relationships that became an instant classic with both critics and audiences.
