I Have Nothing Nice to Say to You

Goran Dević
Screening time  
02.03. / Thursday, 16:00 - 18:00 Theatre 4  
The film centres on the unresolved murder of Ljubica Solar, a young girl from Sisak, that took place in 1991.

By telling a story about the dead girl and her mother – who has an idea about the murderers of her daughter – Dević also tells a story about Sisak’s darker side and a generation of people affected by conflict. Perpetuating their eternal dilemma – to stay or to leave – Dević creates this documentary film noir about the dark Sisak that the war turned into an even gloomier place.
