Student Tamara is making her first film, exploring the life of Ilija Ika Bašić, a renowned Yugoslav film and television professional. As she listens to stories from both in front of and behind the camera, she contrasts the values of two different centuries—one in which he created, and one in which she is now creating. She reflects on approaches to the film profession, revolutionary impulses, and questions of creativity, dedication, and freedom—through the lens of society, but also through her own and Ika’s perspective.

Since Ika Bašić was an important figure in Yugoslav cinema, as well as in Television Novi Sad, where he worked as a producer and editor of special program projects, the film also serves as a reminder of key works of Yugoslav cinema and of major co-produced film projects by Television Novi Sad.
