Marko (Polde Bibic) is a photographer who leads a fast, fashionable life, full of parties and transient affairs. Yet there’s emptiness inside him and he longs for something of real value in his life. While examining a film he helped shoot for a TV program, he discovers what he’s after: a beautiful young woman, caught momentarily on film, who embodies an innocence that was long ago lost to him. When a chance meeting at an art gallery introduces him to the object of his fascination—Vera (Snezana Niksic), a promising ballet dancer—Marko is more smitten than ever. But how much of the real Vera could any photograph capture? Beautifully acted by its two leads, Paper Planes (Na papirnatih avionih) is a delicate, quietly observed meditation on modern relationships that became an instant classic with both critics and audiences.
