    A relentlessly grim story that leads to a shockingly violent ending. Remarkable performance by the young newcomer Marko Kovacevic.

    The true power of the film comes from young Marko Kovacevic, who plays the poetic child lost in a family and culture where poetry has no meaning.

    Superbly modulated yet unrelentingly grim, Mirage builds upon a remarkable performance from young Macedonian newcomer Marko Kovacevic to tell the tragic tale of a talented schoolboy driven to violence through neglect and manipulation.

    Marko's story is far from novel, but its wicked evocation of hopelessness transcends any familiarities.
