Synopsis
Maks Pinter, a successful Zagreb lawyer, managed to get the charges for double murder against his client, the rich and powerful Dinko Horvat, dropped. At the celebration party, Maks is drunk and tells Dinko he killed the workers, who only came asking about their salaries, in cold blood. The confrontation with one of the pillars of society makes Maks an undesirable person, he loses his partner and clients, and his wife leaves him. With his university-days girlfriend Nina, he embarks on a revenge mission. On the other hand, no one in this story is entirely innocent and everyone is tightly connected.
About the director
Rajko Grlić
(Zagreb, 1947) is one of the most important Croatian directors and scriptwriters. He obtained his degree in Film Directing from FAMU in Prague. He directed and co-wrote eleven feature-length films. In addition to that, Rajko wrote ten scripts for produced fiction films and TV series. He won numerous awards for his scripts, including UNESCO Award, FIPRESCI Award at Cannes Film Festival and Peter Kastner Award. He had an intensive scriptwriting cooperation with Serbian filmmaker Srđan Karanović, also a member of the so-called Prague Film School (they co-wrote two Grlić’s films and three Karanović’s films, as well as Karanović’s iconic TV series Reckless Years). He also directed three documentary TV series and a dozen short feature films. He wrote, directed and produced the CD ROM How to Make Your Movie: An Interactive Film School. The CD ROM won him eight international film awards, including Grand Award for Best Multimedia Project at New York Film Festival 1998. He launched the Motovun Film Festival and Grožnjan Imaginary Academy and was also their Artistic Director. In 2001, together with Igor Mirković, he directed Croatia 2000: Who Wants to Be a President, a documentary film on the democratic changes that had taken place in Croatia after President Franjo Tuđman’s death. Grlić is currently Ohio Eminent Scholar in Film at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio.
