WITNESSES
/ SVJEDOCI
CROATIA 2003
Director: Vinko Brešan, 88 MIN
The film is based on Jurica Pavicics novel “Alabaster Sheep”
in which the author reflected his own experiences from the civil war.
The book provoked heavy discussions in Croatia. Split 1992. In a small
village near the front-line, three drunken Croatian soldiers plan to take
revenge on a Serb by targeting his house. The man turns out to be at home
and gets shot. But there is a witness: his eleven-year-old daughter…
Director Brešan tells the story from different perspectives, with
the web of tangled relationships and dependencies among the villagers
only becoming clear towards the end.
