Museum of the Revolution

The building was planned in 1961, construction began in 1978, and was halted only a year later. The monumental building conceived by Vjenceslav Richter was supposed to be a symbol of the eternal revolution, and today it is inhabited by homeless and marginalized people. One of them is 11-year-old Milica, a Roma with albinism, who lives with her mother Vera in the basement of the never-completed museum. Both of them earn their meager income at the intersections of the Novi Beograd district, by cleaning windshields. The core of the essayistic film was originally supposed to be the museum building itself, but director Srđan Keča decided during filming to focus on the people. In doing so, he follows the vision of architect Richter, whos aim was to build a project for what a socialist living space should look like, one which centered around people and how they spend their time, instead of borrowing existing solutions from capitalism.
