ABOUT THE MOVIE
Nikola Kraljić, the greatest living Čakavian poet, born in 1930, receives a call on his mobile phone while fishing for squid in his boat in Omišalj on the island of Krk. The call is from the dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb. He tells him that, during the cleaning of the archives, his diploma from 1964 was found — one that had never been collected. Kraljić has three days to decide whether he will attend the diploma award ceremony.
During those three days, we follow the poet in his daily routines and learn parts of his past and present — but most of all, we get to know him as a poet. Over the course of those three days, the poet travels to three cities, his three life “bases,” in order to ultimately attend the ceremony — his own.
