Summary:

"Through an intimate reconstruction of an important phone call, this film investigates dislocation and the nature of remembering. In the protagonist's eleven year old mind the phone call erases her entire country, history and identity and hides its existence in books, films and memories of those born before 1995"-- Internet Movie Database

"At 10:36 a.m. on a random Friday in 1992, the blissful naiveté of youth is resoundingly shattered in When the Phone Rang, the third feature from Belgrade-born, Lesbos-based filmmaker Iva Radivojević​. The 73-minute feature consists of eleven vignettes, each demarcated by the trill of the telephone. This number refers to the age of eleven-year-old Lana ... an avatar for adolescent Radivojević. In turn, narrator Slavica Bajčeta recalls ephemeral memories with a curt matter-of-factness that gradually gives way to a pained whisper. The first phone call, which curtly delivers news of a relative's death, abruptly yanks Lana into a world of peril and precarity. With each subsequent transmission, Lana grows acutely aware of the growing destabilization all around her as relatives pass and friends flee amidst the violent fall of the former Yugoslavia"-- ReverseShot WWW site.
