Tito on Ice

Road movie in a combination of live action and animation with a documentary style. To promote their book BOSNIAN FLAT DOG, Swedish comics creators Max Andersson and Lars Sjunnesson tour the countries of former Yugoslavia with a mummified Marshal Tito in a refrigerator. They meet a number of characters populating the post-Yugoslav indie cultural scene. As the journey continues through increasingly improbable surroundings, they begin to question themselves and the reality they find themselves in. Watching border controls turn into improvised snapshot sessions, admiring mutant iron-curtain Disney toys, buying souvenir grenade shell handicrafts and discovering sniper art galleries in blown-out apartments, they find that truth may indeed be stranger than fiction. Swedish/English version, English subtitles.
