Takva su pravila
These Are the Rules
Ivo und Maja leben ein unaufgeregtes Leben in der schmucklosen Vorstadt
von Zagreb. Nach einer langen Nacht kommt ihr einziger Sohn Tomica mit lebensgefährlichen Verletzungen nach Hause. Ihre Welt
bricht zusammen. Die rechtschaffenen Eltern versuchen, den Täter zu finden. Ein subtiles Drama, das die Verrohung der Gesellschaft
und langsame bürokratische Prozesse anprangert. TAVKA SU PRAVILA wurde bei den Internationalen Filmfestspielen von Venedig
mit dem Darstellerpreis der Sektion „Orizzonti“ prämiert. (Film Festival Cottbus)
The story is based on real events, and it is about a teenager from Zagreb
who was beaten to death on the street. This event made me think about his parents, and how they dealt with this tragedy. I
imagined ordinary people, who had always obeyed the laws and the rules. But now, when they are faced with this horrible tragedy,
no one wants to help them, and they are unable to do anything about it. No one listens to them, no one cares, they are simply
not important. These people represent the majority that suffers quietly, and also carries on through the injustices done to
them. My story is dedicated to these people. When society fails to function properly, chaos begins. (Ognjen Sviličić, Director’s
Statement, Venice International Film Festival)
