As soon as a foreign young man sets foot in the village, the electricity goes out. It might be the construction of a new highway nearby, but no one knows for sure. The news of his arrival spreads and the villagers are polarised as out-of-towners have visited them before and they always have an agenda.

Nina Ognjanović penned the script. The main cast consists of Jana Bjelica, Zlatan Vidović, Vladimir Maksimović, Ninoslav Ćulum and Svetozar Cvetković, alongside Branislava Stefanović, Igor Filipović, Pavle Čemerikić, Marta Bogosavljević, Eva Ras and Demijan Kostić.

The film was produced by David Jovanović through Pointless Films in coproduction with the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade and RTS - Radio Television of Serbia. Film Center Serbia and the Ministry of Culture and Media of the Republic of Serbia are supporting.

Where the Road Leads had its world premiere in the main competition programme of the 29th Slamdance Film Festival in Park City (USA) in January 2023, where it scooped the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature and the Grand Jury’s Honourable Mention.

Prior to that, the film was picked up by the US sales agent Circus Road Films.
