Synopsis
Set in a remote village on the Slovenia–Italy border, the story follows Nadia, a successful Italian lawyer of Slovenian origin, who returns to her hometown after years of absence to pay a final visit to her dying grandmother. Suspended between two cultures and two identities, she is soon drawn back into a close-knit community she once left behind, and what begins as a simple farewell unfolds into a deeply personal journey shaped by ancient traditions, buried family secrets, and long-suppressed emotions.

Like Nadja, I belong to the Slovenian community living in Italy. This film is therefore deeply rooted in my own experience of growing up between two cultures and languages, and of leaving that community at a certain point in my life—a departure that placed me in a lasting state of in-betweenness, both belonging and not belonging at the same time. It is an identity that can feel confusing and contradictory, while returning to such a close-knit community after years of absence can be both disturbing and beautiful. It’s a tension which I wanted to reflect through the film as well, by embracing ambiguity and moments in which the real and the unreal quietly coexist.

hrvaško: "Čista i zakopana" donosi duboku obiteljsku dramu s elementima magičnog realizma, prateći život mlade odvjetnice Nadje. Scenaristi Martin Turk i Fabrizio Bozzetti vješto vode gledatelje kroz Nadjino traganje za obiteljskim tajnama. Priča je dosljedna i napeta, s intrigantnim prikazom magičnih običaja slovenske manjine u Italiji. Likovi su uvjerljivi, posebno Nadja, čiji kompleksan emocionalni put dodatno obogaćuje priču. Film se bavi temama tradicije, patrijarhata, slobode mladih žena i mistike, što ga čini relevantnim za publiku. Inovativnost scenarija dolazi kroz povezivanje magičnih elemenata s obiteljskim tajnama, stvarajući jedinstvenu atmosferu. Plan promocije je izuzetno detaljan i opširan. Što se distribucije tiče, sigurna sam da ovaj film može jednako biti festivalska uspješnica kao i hit u kinima, na TV-u i VoD platformama.
