ABOUT THE MOVIE
Two groups of citizens clash over the redesign of a children's playground. Is this a struggle for territorial control or ideological supremacy? Who are the true locals, and who are the foreign agents?
In a peaceful Zagreb neighborhood, city authorities allocate a beautiful urban park to the Catholic Church for the construction of a massive new church. Local residents push back, determined to protect the green space. As tensions rise, the park turns into a battleground of opposing worldviews—one that edges dangerously close to physical conflict.
