Based on the play ‘Hadersfild’ by Uglješe Šajtinca. After ten years in the UK, Igor returns to the small town in Serbia where he grew up, and meets up with a group of old friends. The reunion party goes well at first, but as the evening progresses tensions rise between former friends with very different experiences of the previous decade.

Can you help:
If you have any information regarding this production, the locations or, even better, some comparison shots please contact us. Images submitted must be in Landscape orientation, as would be seen on the cinema screen, not Portrait.
We are aware that there are films on the site that were added when the criteria for the inclusion of locations was very different from today and, as a result, there may be scenes missing from some productions. Please do not forward additional screen captures to us but bring the detail to our attention, for we do, and are, 're-addressing' these older entries as time allows.

The view from the top of Springdale Street, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, looking northwest towards Paddock Viaduct.

The view has changed very little in the intervening years. Paddock Viaduct, designed by John Hawkshaw, carries the Penistone Line over the River Colne.

New railings.

...and off along School Lane.

He puts his case into the boot of a taxi. School Lane, Huddersfield, with the Jubilee Centre in Market Street visible in the background.

Heading west now on Westgate.

The pub has been revamped and is now called the Jules Verne.
- Capture 13

From Westgate, turning right into Railway Street.

Remarkably little change here. In the distance, at the top of Westgate, it's just possible to make out the ongoing works to widen the footway as part of a project to improve pedestrian access to the station.

Past the Head of Steam, one of two pubs in the buildings of Huddersfield railway station. The Grade I listed station building dates from 1846-1850, and has recently been featured in an episode of 'The Architecture The Railways Built'.

Not terribly obvious in this shot, but St George's Square, in front of the station, underwent a major redesign and refurbishment in 2008/2009.
- Capture 15

The stone lion on the gable of Lion Chambers, opposite the railway station. The stone lion motif will reappear later.

And a fountain.
