Male stvari
Zvonimir Jurić · Croatia, Slovenia, 2026 · 80 min
In midwinter, family members gather on an island to discuss the family estate and unresolved tensions. This quietly observed portrait of complex family dynamics is based on a short story by Croatian journalist and writer Jurica Pavičić. During a winter weekend, sisters Anica and Irena, accompanied by Irena's two children, travel to an island to visit their father and brother Ivan, a quiet loner. The reason for the gathering is their father's decision to sell the family land. Confined to the worn-down family house, the family members are forced to confront long-suppressed tensions and difficult choices, while one of them will have to make the ultimate sacrifice.
"I know that I like a film to 'bathe' in atmosphere. The poet Paul Valéry says that every poem oscillates between meaning and sound. If, in his equation, meaning is what we derive from the narrative, that is, from the sequence of events, then what he calls sound I would call atmosphere - something less tangible. What I mean is that when I begin working on a new film, I don't start with meaning, but with a feeling." (Zvonimir Jurić)
