Ne gledaj mi u pijat
Quit Staring at My Plate
Marijana’s life revolves around her family. Whether she likes it or
not. They live on top of one another in a tiny apartment, driving one another crazy. Then her controlling father has a stroke
and is left completely bedridden, and Marijana takes his place as head of the clan. Soon, she is working two jobs to keep
everything afloat, while her mother and disabled brother do their best to scupper the ship. Driven to the edge, Marijana finds
comfort in seedy sex with random strangers – and this taste of freedom leaves her wanting more. But now that she has finally
found freedom, what’s she meant to do with it?
