ABOUT THE MOVIE
Every social environment produces different patterns of behavior, biological and social. The consequences of various inequalities and conflicts. But what happens when two similarities "conflict" and how does it reflect on a work of art? „Whatif I Fail?“ is a work by twowomen, mothers and sculptors born in 1978, who met at the Academy of Applied Arts in Rijeka after 17 years. The film analyzes the position of female artists in the society, but not only that – it seeks to understand the differences in the approach and understanding of a work of art, in its acceptance of the authenticity and expediency of what is eventually lost.
