Gritty crime drama “Awake” is the first Serbian series to be in the official selection at Canneseries. It follows Sonja Kljun, a cold-yet-caring detective relegated from her case in Belgrade to the small city of Subotica where she must work with her new partner to solve a seemingly open-and-shut suicide. As she uncovers secrets about the suicide, her daughter’s prophetic dreams serve to reveal much more than she ever intended.
“Awake” is directed by Uroš Tomić and Jelena Gavrilović, and the screenplay is written by Ljubica Lukovic and Matija Dragojević. The series is premiering internationally at Canneseries, with its first season comprised of ten 50-minute episodes. United Media produced the series, and will screen the first two episodes at the festival.
Variety spoke with both directors and screenwriters ahead of the film screening at Canneseries.
