Synopsis
‘The Trap’ (‘Klopka’) is a film about a man forced to choose between his own child’s life and death. It tells a story about the hero’s moral dilemma – whether he is to save his son’s life by becoming a murderer. It’s about a man who exchanges death for life, his own misery for somebody else’s. It’s about an event which brings salvation to his family and desolation and pain to somebody else’s family. It’s about a choice which doesn’t really exist at all… ’The trap’ is a confessional film, a modern Balkan version of ‘Crime and punishment’. It’s a story about a crime which saved the life of the hero’s son and about redemption that comes from the inside, from an inability to live with one’s own crime.
