Synopsis
A Day in the Life of a thirty-something immigrant caught in a rut. He lives in a place where everyone speaks a different language and no one understands anyone else. When his wife asks him to buy ice cream, his day unravels as misunderstandings sink to absurd misadventures. A satirical view about a day where the effects of a new immigrant's mounting hardships and dizzying realities all converge into one big mess.
Statement from Filmmaker
Ice Cream. Sladoled is a story about an immigrant. It’s also about misunderstandings, confusion, and everything that a nonstop barrage of obstacles brings. Often, this adversity can be mundane. Which is why the story is told through a progression of absurd situations. While the two characters in the story are Serbian and Argentinian, it could have been a host of other ethnic groups. The story isn’t about where someone came from. It’s a satirical look at the mounting hardships encountered by a new immigrant. Where the outcome of his journey for a better life is far different from the plan.
