Winner of the Caméra d’Or for Best First Feature Film at Cannes in 2021, MURINA is a psychological drama and a coming-of-age tale of a young woman’s struggle for independence.
On the surface, 16-year-old Julija’s life looks like paradise, but a deeper dive shows she and her mother Nela must carefully navigate the oppressive rule of controlling father and husband Ante. Tensions rise when a charismatic and wealthy family friend arrives at their Croatian island home. For Ante he offers the change for a life-changing deal. For Nela he’s a reminder of a different life she could have had. For Julija he’s a getaway plan.
Beautifully crafted, sensually charged and with some electrifying drama taking place (literally) beneath the Mediterranean surface, MURINA will completely captivate you. - PERTH FILM FESTIVAL
