Nenad rides to school in an armored tank, traveling from his Serbian enclave into hostile Albanian territory. He has no friends his age; only his dying grandfather and an elderly priest awaiting a new bell for his church. But even in war-torn Kosovo, not all innocence and magic of childhood can be destroyed. When two Albanian boys hesitantly befriend Nenad, and when Nenad arranges for them to ride in his tank, barriers begin to break down. Suddenly, life becomes an adventure of discovery and questioning. New possibilities emerge, even as old hatreds hold fast and rear their ugly heads. ENCLAVE swirls with a sublime beauty between a grand wedding, the arrival of the long-awaited bell, and other events that one may assume will bring the divergent nationalist communities together. One night, as a new outburst of ethnic violence erupts, the bell is a symbol to be destroyed, and the young new friendships are tested. With visual poetry and relentless power, ENCLAVE pulls the viewer towards a stunning conclusion. (In Serbian with subtitles) –C.R.
