Synopsis
Sule is a Bosnian poet and artist who has been living in London for 40 years. Unsatisfied with his life there, he projects all his troubles on his immigrant destiny, wallowing in idyllic memories of his beloved Banja Luka. Stuck in a rut, Sule gets one last chance to turn his life around when the Bosnian embassy in London invites him to exhibit a series of his paintings entitled: ‘Guidance Through the Black Hole’.
