Synopsis:
The film questions the universal understanding of love, connecting that phenomenon with the phenomenon of rigid consumerism. Traders tend to dehumanize the human smile by continuously and aggressively offering goods and services on the market of absurdity. Osmijeh represents an act of resistance against uprooted social norms.
