Stefan reunites with his family to celebrate his grandmother’s birthday for the first time after his mother’s recent passing. This homecoming, driven by his urge to complete a film about his mother and an attempt to make amends by rescuing a stray dog, will ignite an introspective journey for Stefan. Inspired by the director’s real-life experiences and starring his actual family members in a mission to complete a lake house and a film, Wind, Talk to Me is a cinematic exploration of the timeless mother-son relationship.
After its premiere at the Rotterdam IFF in 2025, Wind, Talk to Me was presented at many international festivals including Sarajevo, where it was awarded Best Film.
“My mother’s way of speaking about life and her connection with nature was deeply poetic, and I wanted to capture that poetry in the film. I didn’t want to create a linear narrative that simply detailed events. I sought to find emotional connections between the so-called ‘fictional’ parts and the documentary segments… Yes, I constructed a structure for the film, but it wasn’t fiction—it was a carefully crafted narrative rooted in genuine memories collected from my family. My goal was to create a sense of timelessness, allowing the audience to experience the story without perceiving it as divided into ‘past’ and ‘present’. I wanted them to feel, as we do, that my mother is still present, her spirit living through us and within us.” (S. Djordjević)
