Calypso

When Martin Dedijer decides to end the world of the Dedijer family, a world that was marked by the life and death of his father, the sailor Maksim, whose life ended at the bottom of the Black Sea in the shipwreck of the merchant ship Bianca Stella, he will do so unconditionally and forever, hanging from a conifer near the town where he grew up. The thread of the rope on which he hangs will also unravel the evil fate of the Dedijer family, from his forefather Tod and his sister Natalija, through his father Maksim and mother Marija to the most hidden family secret.

Spahić's Martin is an emblematic hero of post-transition, he is Telemachus who, following the seed of his father, wanders from the apartment where he grows up to the long-abandoned mountain village that is guarded only by an empty grave with Maksim's name. In his searches, he always reaches the center of the labyrinth, but his thread is just a thread of rope. The tragedy of the Dedijer family is classic and eternal, it is entangled in an inextricable connection between the past and the present, the eternal struggle of eros and thanatos, in which neither the nymph Calypso nor the legendary ship of the same name by the oceanographer Cousteau can be liberating, because the cave in which the Dedijer family rests is as dark and dead as the bottom of the Black Sea.
