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?
