Synopsis: The movie “The Myth of Sarah” is a short story about one historical dilemma - the arrival of the famous French actress Sarah Bernhard in Bitola in the midst of the First World War, when this place was the centre of Front Arena. The story begins with the arrival of Sarah Bernhard in Bitola in August 1916. She comes here to entertain French troops and to see her lover, a French general who is one of the commanders on the French Army. Mrs Bernhard is at that time about seventy years old, stays in Bitola only one day and one night. On the stage where she entertains the soldiers, she expresses her dilemma and bitterness. Sarah speaks the monologue from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Sara’s monologue tries to show the superiority of the human spirit and virtue, against the twilight of civilization. Combining archival materials with a story that happens today, we attempt to acknowledge some senseless human activities which are following the civilization.
Director: Sasa Stanisik
