Matija Vukšić : 2014
Children of Transition
The film follows the growing up of David, Natalija, Lana and Marta. After his excellent performance before the scouts of FC Barcelona, 8-year-old David, dubbed by the media 'Messi from Slavonski Brod', impatiently awaits invitation from La Masia. This still non-existent piece of paper is the basis of David's dreams, but also of the dreams of his entire family of five. 11-year-old Natalija comes from a modest background, does not have a smartphone and other trendy things. Because of that she is bullied by her classmates and is forced to change school. The 6-year-old Lana spends her days trying clothes, doing her face, dancing and playing cellphone games. A teenage life defined by bullying at school and on social networks became unbearable for 15-year-old Marta. What are happy childhoods and growing up in a healthy environment like, and are they possible in a society that has not achieved maturity itself? A film about the environment we create for our common future. Four stories. Four dreams of a happy childhood, in a society making it next to impossible. Matija Vukšić's documentary had its international premiere at Motovun Film Festival 2014.
