Against the backdrop of the 1979 protests in Australia supporting Croatian independence, this narrative short film explores the growing tensions between immigrant and native communities in a nation defined by migration. As language, history, and cultural differences give rise to misunderstandings and prejudice, the fragile threads of human connection begin to fray. With standout performances and a finely crafted narrative, the film delivers a powerful and lasting impact. Winner of the Grand Prize at the 2025 Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival.
