Pearl Mist (2025)

This Serbian drama takes us back to 1882, when a widow named Jelena Ilka Marković (Milena Predic) was accused trying to kill King Milan Obrenović to avenge the death of her hsuband during the Topolska Rebellion. After being sentenced to twenty years in prison, she was found dead in her cell. Her death was ruled a suicide by hanging even though the evidence suggested otherwise. The film then jumps seven years to two other unexplained murders: that of a young girl found near the Sava River and also Prince Miloš's great-grandson, whose body was recovered in Topčider Forest. The cases are investigated by Belgrade police officer Djordje Coguric (Milos Timotijevic) along with a lawyer by the name of Andrija Kustudic (Petar Strugar), and the duo discover that both seem to be connected to the late Jelena Ilka Marković. The film contains to turn-of-the-century nudes, one played by Milica Janković who spends a lengthy talking topless before she’s stabbed and then seen laying naked in bed. The other is Miona Marković, who bares both boobs and buns as she gets out of bed and also gives us a view from beneath her beautiful breasts as she humps a guy.
