When Miroslav Terzić was writing his new film back in 2023, titled “3 Weeks After,” there was a mass shooting at a Serbian school, the country where the director was born.

“It was terrible when you realize what you are writing, it’s happening somewhere right now — it’s not a film, it’s real life,” Terzić tells Variety of his third feature, which was co-produced by Serbia, Bulgaria, Italy, Croatia and Luxembourg.
