In the winter of 1991, Aleksandra Zec – a girl of Serbian nationality – was murdered in the Croatian capital of Zagreb. Although the perpetrators were known, they were never punished for the crime. A quarter-century later, director Oliver Frljić stages a theatre piece about the case in the city of Rijeka. The rehearsals become a sort of collective therapy, hidden trauma rises to the surface and 12-year-old actress Nina begins to feel as if the war never ended.
