<p>In 1999 truck driver Vlada arrives at a dilapidated warehouse in war-torn Kosovo to collect a mysterious load. He has to keep to a strict schedule, not ask any questions and keep the back of the truck locked. Vlada sets off on an odyssey through a desolate landscape of derelict houses and bridges bombed up by NATO. When he finally gets home, he is confronted by the consequences of his actions. His load becomes his burden.</p>

<p>Ognjen Glavonić’s film is based on the real events he dealt with previously in the documentary <strong>Depth Two </strong>(2016). In his fiction debut&nbsp;<strong>The Load</strong>, he focuses principally on the moral degradation of an ordinary man just trying to get by, and investigates what this generation inherits from the last.&nbsp;Glavonić shifts down the gears for this subtle story, captured in claustrophobic images pregnant with ever-present threat, making the impact of the denouement all the more powerful.</p>
