U.S. Premiere.
Followed by a recorded Q&A with filmmaker Andrea Štaka.
In award-winning filmmaker Andrea Štaka's (CURE: THE LIFE OF ANOTHER, FRÄULEIN) poignant domestic drama, Mare (Marija Škaričić, in her third collaboration with Štaka) is an emotionally neglected, hardworking, middle-aged housewife living in Dubrovnik with her indifferent husband and children. Although she lives right by the airport, Mare has never traveled, and the nearby roaring and humming of planes is a constant reminder that she's not going anywhere. She spends her days caring for her family with quiet dedication, busy with the relentless demands of being a wife, homemaker and mother to three children and with no time to question whether she is happy with her life. That is, until she meets Piotr (Mateusz Kościukiewicz, MUG), a handsome young worker from Poland who rekindles Mare's emotional life, reignites her joie de vivre and even takes the time to properly fix her washing machine. Like a social realist SHIRLEY VALENTINE, MARE is a powerful, intimate and frank portrait of female midlife dissatisfaction from an exclusively feminine viewpoint. Winner, Best Actress (Marija Škaričić) and C.I.C.A.E. Award, 2020 Sarajevo Film Festival. Official Selection, 2020 Berlin International Film Festival.
