WINNER - CAMERA D'OR - AWARD FOR BEST DEBUT FILM - 74TH CANNES FESTIVAL EXECUTIVE PRODUCER MARTIN SCORSESE "S about a coming-of-age story written by Patricia Highsmith " - Variety The Croatian coast with its azure Adriatic Sea and white sandy beaches is a paradise for many. But teenager Julija sees it as a prison she wants to escape from. Her life is controlled in every way by her despotic father Ante. He expects obedience and the maintenance of a happy facade from both his daughter and his wife Nela. When an old friend of the family comes to visit, he immediately finds himself at the center of it. Both father, mother and daughter project their plans and desires onto the charming millionaire Javier. Ante wants to inspire him to invest money in a project that will increase the attractiveness of the coastal properties to tourists. Nela resumes the youthful flirtation she and Javier had earlier. And Julija sees in Javier a possible escape from her confined existence. Tensions rise under the hot sun. Antoneta Alamat Kusijanovic gives us a dense, ominous and very strong feature film debut, based on her short film Into The Blue from 2017. Gracija Filipovic impresses greatly in the lead role of Julija along with an ensemble whose performances increase the dramatic charge all the way to the end. -- " Sun-drenched noir with a dark luster " - Variety " Delivers an explosive finale " - Screen Daily " Charged atmosphere in beautiful surroundings " - The Film Stage " Magnetic performance " - Deadline
