THE PATH STREWN WITH ROSES

The film unfolds the life story of Princess Olivera Lazarevic (1373-1444). Princess Olivera was sent off, from her town of birth Krusevac, to the harem of Sultan Bayezid I, who had executed her father, on a path which the Serbian people had strewn with roses. The story of Princess Olivera's destiny was invariably interwoven with the story of her parents Knez Lazar and Kneginja Milica, her brother Despot Stefan, sister Jela Balsic, nephew Djuradj Brankovic… The film «Path Strewn With Roses» enlivens this, insufficiently explored and somewhat forgotten, part of Serbian Medieval history. Throughout her life, Princess Olivera supported and helped Serbia, where she was able to return and where she was a faithful companion, adviser, adherent and consoler to her brother Despot Stefan.
