Slijepčević’s film was selected from over 4,200 submissions and competed against ten other distinguished entries from around the globe. Despite its international success, the film’s production team faced significant challenges, including the lack of support from the Montenegrin Film Centre in 2022 for minority co-production funding.
The win at Cannes not only highlights the film’s poignant narrative and exceptional storytelling but also marks a significant achievement for Croatian cinema on the world stage.
