ABOUT THE MOVIE
Looking for a cinematic subject in a sparsely populated area of north-western Istria, students are faced with history written on a seemingly idyllic landscape. Faced with traces of history, they begin to question their own relationship to the space in which the line between idyll and reality is becoming increasingly blurred. "Terra Magica" was created as part of the hybrid film workshop in Grožnjan.
