Synopsis

Every Good Story is a Love Story is a film about the theatrical play “Boris, Milena, Radko” and the four publicly well-known people who produced it—the writer-director Dušan Jovanović, actress Milena Zupančić and two actors Radko Polić and Boris Cavazza. It is a story about a love triangle and the public artistic and private lives of these performers. The film tells a universal story of the relationship between the real and the imagined, a story of the relationship between the intimate and the public aspects of art.
