Miramare

Miramare · dir. Michaela Müller
Croatia 2009, 8’

A look at life on the mediterranean borders of Europe, where tourists try to relax while “illegal” immigrants struggle for a chance to a better life. Breaking out of a strictly confined tourist zone, two children of a Swiss family experience quickly that reality here has very little to do with the posh life in the camping site. Then a storm hits the shore and washes away almost all distinctions between rich and poor.

Director:Michaela Müller
Screenplay:Michaela Müller
Music:Fa Ventilato
Awards:Dni Hrvatskog Filma, Zagreb
