Specials

Mila, her employee of many years, still dreams of owning a house in Croatia. Enter Ana (Marija Škaričić), fresh from Sarajevo, young and hungry for life – and suddenly the other women’s lives are in disarray. But even Ana, masking scars from the Bosnian war, is living with a secret she is afraid to face up to. The empathetic visual composition of director Andrea Štaka reveals the emotional worlds inhabited by her protagonists. Visiting goEast: Croat actress Marija Škaričić and Elma Tataragić, Artistic Director of IFF Sarajevo.
