Qué hace tan importante esta locación para la película? No es el wallpaper, ni la luz, ni los colores… las escaleras. Las escaleras son un gran motivo a lo largo de la historia, representan los desafíos que Jonathan tiene que superar.

🎬 KIČMA

✨PREMIJERA U SRBIJI✨

📅 27. 8. 2026.
🕘 21:00
📍 Letnja pozornica Fetislam – Kladovo

Ogorčen nakon što je izgubio posao, Venecuelanac Džonatan angažuje glumicu koja prolazi kroz težak period i ciničnog plejboja da mu se pridruže na putovanju iz Meksika u Panamu, pre operacije kičme.

Dok putuju kroz divlju Panamu, postaje sve manje jasno da li je Džonatan krenuo na put da pobegne od svakodnevice — ili da se osveti zbog stare nepravde.

✨ Nakon projekcije: Q&A sa glumcem Aarónom Díazom. Moderator Ana Pejovic i Darko Peric .

🎬 ESPINA

SERBIAN PREMIERE

📅 27 August 2026
🕘 21:00
📍 Fetislam Open-Air Stage – Kladovo

Bitter after losing his job, Venezuelan expat Jonathan recruits a struggling actress and a cynical playboy to join him on a journey from Mexico to Panama before spinal surgery.

As the trio ventures into Panama’s wild side, it becomes unclear whether Jonathan’s journey is an escape — or a quest to settle a long-held grudge.

✨ Q&A with actor Aarón Díaz after the screening
