MY MORNING LAUGHTER, the first fiction film from Marko Djordjevic, tells the hilariously tragic story of a man who has lived for too long under his parents' wings. 28 year-old Dejan and his mother visit a fortune teller who bluntly asks Dejan what his sex life is like. The clairvoyant sees right through Dejan’s refusal to answer: “You’re a wimp”. Dejan’s mother sits down for her reading, and she is advised to devote herself to another man in her life. She is the cause of her adult son’s problems. But, there is hope for Dejan. A female colleague isn't easily put off.
Marko Djordjevic (1988, Serbia) made several short films while studying at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade, including THE OTHER SHORE (2012), which won the award for the ‘Best Serbian Film’ at Cinema City festival. His first feature, MY MORNING LAUGHTER (2019), premiered internationally at IFFR 2020.
