Full stop!

Full stop! is an experimental film that uses symbolic gestures of a high school student to explore daily life and broader social issues, particularly the responsibility of public officials for the tragedy that occurred on November 1, 2024, at the Novi Sad Railway Station. The main character of the film is not a person, but an ordinary pencil, which becomes a symbol of the everyday actions and inner struggles of a young person growing up in a system of deeply corrupted values. The pencil leaves a mark of our thoughts, aspirations, and reality. Its smallest trace is a dot, a full stop. However, to come to a full stop with injustice is a necessary and at the same time a great act.

M Soup, follows the character ‘M’ played by SMGP themselves, in which they play around with appearing hyper-masculine and hyper-feminine.
