ABOUT THE MOVIE

In 1991, a girl of Serb ethnicity Aleksandra Zec was killed in Zagreb. A quarter century later, director Oliver Frljić in Rijeka posed a theatrical performance on this occasion. Theatrical trials become collective psychotherapy, and twelve-year-old actress Nina seems like the war has never ended.
