His latest work "Klopka," or "The Trap," captures the slow, quiet optimism and affection of a working class household struggling to build a better life. Nebojsa Glogovac plays loving father Mladen, whose intelligent and headstrong son Nemanja (Marko Djurovic) is diagnosed with a potentially fatal affliction, demanding a life-saving operation at an enormous cost.

The problem is, Mladen is a construction worker and mother Marija (Natasa Ninkovic) a teacher. They drive a run down little beetle and live in a cramped apartment in Serbia. Their only hope is to bear the embarrassment of posting a small advertisement in the local paper and wait for some fat rich philanthropist to lend them the cash they need to save their son's life.

However, when their advert is answered and Mladen goes to meet the kind benefactor, he is confronted with the choice to save his son's life on condition that he take life from another.

After much procrastinated frustration over his priorities, he eventually makes family first -- his family, that is. But amidst the fray of Mladen's confusion as both a father and a human being, he finds the strain is more than he can shoulder as his grip on everything he holds dear begins to slip.

Though Golubovic may be juggling with anything but new concepts, the ensuing twists and turns deliver a new concept of justice that is terrifying as it is understandable.

The film's approach toward vigilante justice as a right of passage to realizing oneself as a human being rewards with a deep meditation on responsibility harking back to Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novel "Crime and Punnishment," with protagonists from both stories exploring the reflection of humanity through moral dilemmas.

The ripple effect of Mladen's actions affect others, too, and his murder relates its deepest inner pain to him because he knows that it was his hands that selfishly snuffed out the father of another family -- and the regret is killing him.

In the end, Golubuvic transcends the moral narrative by painting a world where there is no right or wrong answer, and where your next step determines not only your own fate, but that of those you love most of all.

In it's most hopeless moments, the film defeats any chance of trust, faith or love, delivering performances determined to rock our minds free of a life filled with blame. And through the abyss that "The Trap" ploughs out of a seamless sense of order, witnesses may be rocked by a revelation that sooner or later, each one of us will fall.
