Synopsis
Awarded in Berlin and Oberhausen, the short film focuses on Julija, aged 13, who flees her abusive home together with her mother to find refuge on an idyllic Croatian island where she previously lived. She is looking forward to reawakening her friendship with Ana, who, however, mainly pays attention to her boyfriend. Ana’s rejection opens Julija’s unhealed wounds of the past and arouses in her the monster of violence she thought to have left behind.

The prize of the International Youth Film Competition goes to a film we found thoroughly convincing: camera, acting, sound. It addresses many subjects that are important to young people today: friendship and jealousy, fear and change, family and domestic violence. It made us curious and shows how complex our relationships with other people are. In addition to that, the actors and the landscapes are captivatingly beautiful!
