Do balcak (2014)
Great film!

Do Balcak talks fluently to Macedonians and those who have never heard of Macedonia about a controversial period of its history, caught between the Ottoman Empire and the new winds blowing from Europe. It weaves an intricate story of love,family secrets,politics, betrayal... and great music. It doesn't stray into politics nor does it attempt to explain, clarify, assert - just tell the story. The narrative is elegant, with lots of symbolic and details, the acting great, especially Mihajlovski and Kocev. The film is quite long (nearly three hours) but it does keep you glued to the seat! My personal favorite for the Foregn Film Oscar 2015!
