Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
After her mother’s sudden death, ten-year-old Moja becomes the unexpected grown-up of her fragmented family. With great determination, she tries to bring her troubled older sister Vesna and their distant father together.
Sara Kern’s close-hewn, subtly funny debut feature boasts a precocious turn by nonprofessional Loti Kovačič, whose diminutive character muffles giant feelings. Informed by Kern’s own experience as a migrant to Australia, this delicate film captures that peculiar shame that curls up beside grief.
