September 29, 2013 by LIAF

They encounter a number of characters populating the post-Yugoslav indie cultural scene. As the journey continues through increasingly improbable surroundings, the protagonists begin to question themselves and Tito on Ice, Max Andersson, Helena Ahonen, LIAF, London International Animation Festivalthe reality they find themselves in. Watching border controls turn into improvised snapshot sessions, admiring mutant iron-curtain Disney toys, buying souvenir grenade shell handicrafts and discovering sniper art in blown-out apartments, they find that truth may indeed be stranger than fiction.

A combination of stop-motion animation and documentary scenes, the film turns into a roller coaster ride through a parallel universe Tito on Ice, Max Andersson, Helena Ahonen, LIAF, London International Animation Festivalwhere all borders are disintegrating – at the same time tragic, poetic and hilariously funny.
