Mare has never flown, although she lives right next to the airport with her husband and their three teenage kids. She loves her family, cares for them, but sometimes almost feels like a stranger in her own home. Who are these people she lives with? Mare finds herself gazing at the planes overhead, longing for change and the unknown. When one day a young man moves into the house next door, she puts her life to the test.
Andrea Štaka lives in Zurich, Switzerland. She graduated from the MFA film program at the Zurich University of the Arts ZHdK. Her films HOTEL BELGRAD (1998) and YUGODIVAS (2000) have brought her great recognition at film festivals such as Locarno and Sundance and have won several awards. Both films were theatrically released and nominated for ‘Best Film’ at the Swiss Film Awards. In 2005 Štaka received a NYSCA Individual Artist Grant. Her first feature film FRAULEIN (2006) won the Golden Leopard at the Locarno Film Festival, the Heart of Sarajevo and the Swiss Film Award for ‘Best Script’. In 2007 Andrea Štaka founded Okofilm Productions in Zurich together with director and producer Thomas Imbach and produced DAY IS DONE (2011), MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS (2013), MY BROTHER MY LOVE (2018). Her second feature film CURE – THE LIFE OF ANOTHER (2014) screened in competition at the Locarno Film Festival and was awarded at the Film festival Max Ophüls Preis among others.
