SKOPJE: The Academy Award nominee Milcho Manchevski is developing his seventh feature film
Kaymak / Kajmak. Early stages of casting are underway and principle photography is planned for the summer of 2021.
The film is produced by Jane Kortoshev and Milcho Manchevski through Banana Film, and coproduced with Ian Prior through UK`s Scala Productions, Meta Louise Foldager Sørensen and Mette Børch through Danish Meta Films, and Ivan Doykov of Bulgaria`s Dare Films.
Kaymak / Kajmak is a taboo-busting black comedy of haves and have-nots: when a rich couple and a poor couple who live too close to each other get involved in separate threesomes, the consequences are tragic. Personal desires, family secrets and class relations are all exposed on the journey into the unconventional.
