Vesna Biljan Pušić

A biographic documentary about a punk-rock icon who surpassed the music and became a symbol of common sense and free thinking.

Hrvatska Dubica is a village on the border with the Republic of Srpska. It never recovered from the devastation of war so its number of inhabitants keeps decreasing. The film centres on Nikica Jukić, a former Croatian veteran who went to war when he was seventeen and received his pension when he was twenty-two. He, his unwed partner Svjetlana, who is of Serbian nationality, and the other characters in the film recount their daily life. They speak about love, hatred, co-existence, as well as current topics such as the European Union border and the arrival of immigrants from the East.

The urban space of Zagreb is dominated by the investors' interests, while the identity of neighborhoods and the quality of life of residents are threatened.
