An audacious, rebellious portrayal of the Serbian young, who are drowning their social problems and apathy in sex, drugs, pop music and a labyrinth of communication technology. Main prize at the Rotterdam Film Festival.
16-year-old Jasna attends secondary school. Her father is severely ill. Completely infirm and on strong drugs, he has been losing touch with reality. The daughter refuses to acknowledge or deal with her father’s illness. She is in love with her school mate Đole, but is too shy to show him affection. The teenagers nevertheless form a sexual relationship, where their only communication is video-recorded sex. Jasna is also a party girl. She drinks, takes drugs and engages in boisterous activity in the company of her friends, sleeping through her school lessons. Although Jasna is mad at the whole world, love and tenderness conquer all even in the most brutal of environments.
»My own youth wasn’t what you’d call plain sailing; there was a war on. Now our society is determined by a combination of lost values and total apathy. The older generation is conspicuously conservative and many young people rebel against this by fleeing into overly passionate relationships. That passion expresses itself in both violence and immense tenderness. The behaviour of youngsters in Clip is unpredictable, just like in real life.”« (Maja Miloš)
