Tribeca prizewinner Darko Lungulov (“Here and There”) has wrapped production on “1970,” a coming-of-age drama set against the backdrop of President Nixon’s visit to the former Yugoslavia during the Vietnam War. The film will take part in the Agora Works in Progress strand at the Thessaloniki Film Festival before heading to Tallinn’s Baltic Event industry showcase later this month.

“1970” follows 13-year-old Draško, who — after being abandoned by his parents — runs away with the rebellious 16-year-old Eržika. Drifting from place to place, swept up amid a roiling climate of anti-war protests, rebellion, free love, wild rock concerts, drugs and decadent parties, his desperate journey home becomes an awakening of heartbreak, loss and freedom.
