A Muslim, a Croatian and a Serbian woman are placed against a wall and undressed: let someone analyse their bodies and guess their nationality or religion — they will not be able to.

The scouts
Five directors collaborating on a conceptual ambush that weaponizes the nude body against essentialism itself—completely uninterested in flattering the viewer or offering easy catharsis, which is exactly why it works. This is the kind of formally provocative move that makes consensus critics uncomfortable, and that's the whole point.
The film's interrogation of bodily markers as reliable signifiers engages a lineage of conceptual art and performance documentation, though the five-director structure risks diluting the formal clarity that would elevate this from provocation into rigorous argument.
The central choice—stripping away visual markers of identity to expose how arbitrarily we assign them—is doing all the heavy lifting here, and the restraint of the execution (minimal intervention, observational framing) lets that single idea breathe without needing production value to justify itself.
