‘Comrade Jovanka’ is trying to answer to many questions and dilemmas that accompany Jovanka Broz: is she more than just a president’s wife, how much she knew and what has affected her, whether she is a victim or a culprit? Referring to passages from various books, various confessions, as well as certain documents, the film is an attempt to elucidate the relationships at the top of the former system, which are unclear even to people who were part of the system. On the other hand, it is the view of a country and time on which the younger generations do not know much.
