The Apricot Year — a note from the booker

"An object lesson in patience. We held a print for a year so you could see it in this room."

A widowed clockmaker in Sarajevo spends one long summer building a watch for his daughter's wedding. Stojić's only feature — lost for thirty years — was located in a Belgrade attic in 2024 and restored from a single 35mm working print. Print courtesy of the Yugoslav Film Archive.
