LevelK takes on ‘Kaymak’ from Golden Lion winner Milcho Manchevski

LevelK has boarded international sales for the Macedonian-set drama Kaymak by Milcho Manchevski, best known for his 1994 Venice Golden Lion winner Before The Rain.

Kaymak will world premiere in competition in Tokyo.

The ensemble cast includes Sara Klimoska (Willow, You Won’t Be Alone), Kamka Tocinovski (Punk’s Not Dead, Angels Fallen), Aleksandar Mikic (Secret Ingredient), Ana Stojanovska (Mothers), Simona Spirovska and Filip Trajkovikj.

The “irreverent, unconventional and poignant love story” is about two different sets of neighbours in Macedonia: a young rich couple who have to welcome a distant relative in their home; and the middle-aged neighbours in a crumbling house who feel left behind.
