OV (English subtitles)
A hot and sticky summer in Šibenik. Heated are also the family dynamics in the tiny two-bedroom apartment in which 24-year-old Marijana, her parents and mentally disabled brother live. After suffering a stroke, her controlling father and family patriarch is left completely invalid. Marijana steps in as head of the family juggling her responsibilities as sole breadwinner and a new found freedom. Her yearning for adventure slowly takes root as she explores the meaning and possibilities of young adulthood. In her debut feature film, writer and director Hana Jušić pointedly expresses the sense of longing through her female protagonist played by the extraordinary Mia Petričević.
