Three stories about violence as destruction of intimacy, about family, integrity and trust.

CHERRIES: Family tensions are slowly eroding what should have been a carefree summer for ten-year old Jakov. A series of events ending in tragedy will incite his emotional revolt, but also his feelings of guilt.

WHITE BONE DEATH: Maria and Lucia, two young sisters, and their neighbour Marko, are playing “the white bone of death”. The children's game gets out of hand and grows into a more serious and dramatic event for both the children and the adults.

SINKING OBJECTS: A family gathering takes a strange turn when the daughter appears in front of her parents with a bruise on her eye and an unconvincing, clichéd excuse.

Dubravka Turić (Zagreb, 1973) edited more than 20 feature, experimental and animated films, and worked as a screenwriter for documentary and travel TV series. Her directing debut Belladonna (2005) was named best short film at Venice International Film Festival, and Cherries (2017) was selected for the Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes Film Festival.

Filip Mojzeš (Zagreb, 1989) graduated in film and TV directing from the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb and the Sarajevo Film Academy. He is the author of several short films, and his first professional short film, The Walker (2014), was named best short film at Belgrade Documentary and Short Film Festival.

Filip Peruzović (Zagreb, 1986) graduated in film and TV directing from the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb. He is the author of several noted short films (Tetrapak, 2010, Coffee with Jam, 2013), as well as a feature TV film Walk the Dog (2014), which won the Croatian Actors’ Guild Award for best drama. He is currently preparing his next feature film Elsewhere.
