, director Antoneta Alamat Kusijanović’s enthralling feature debut about the upheaval born from the arrival of an old friend at a family’s Croatian island home. At the center of this brewing tempest is Julija , a teenager who bears a deep grudge against her father and views his wealthy visiting friend as a potential savior.
Things, however, are not so simple, or easily resolved, in this gorgeously sunny noir-ish saga.
