A film by Srđan Karanović from 1991, running 102 minutes. When a fourth daughter is born to a family 'cursed' by superstition to bear no male heirs, the decision is made to raise the child with a boy's name—Stevan—as well as a man's rights and responsibilities, though as Stevan passes adolescence, first love and a brush with personal tragedy will spark rebellion in his breast. An acutely observed study of a 19th-century peasant culture steeped in misogyny, and a strikingly sensual story of self-discovery. The film has been newly restored in 2K from the negative, which the director had thought was lost in the aftermath of the Yugoslav Wars.
