On the paradise island, not everything is as idyllic as it seems. Compiled from photographs discovered in an abandoned police station, this criminal found footage film takes us to the other side of the mirror of sunny serenity and colorful attractions of a popular tourist destination in Croatia. Spanning several decades and two political systems, the photographs of crime scenes take on their own syntax and weave a story about a society and its pathologies.
Ivan RAMLJAK (1974, Croatia) is a filmmaker, film critic, and independent curator. In 2003, he founded Human Rights Film Festival in Zagreb, Croatia. Since 2013, he curates the Short Tuesday film programme at cinema Tuškanac in Zagreb. Since 2016, he is the Artistic Director of Tabor Film Festival, the oldest short film festival in Croatia.
