The Chaotic Life of Nada Kadić



Marta Hernaiz Pidal : 2018
Kaoticni Zivot Nade Kadić

Single mother Nada is struggling to jog her daytime office job, caring for her little girl Hava and squeezing in some time for herself. On top of all, Hava is diagnosed within the autism spectrum and neither money nor time is sufficient to cope with this challenge. No wonder Nada needs a break. So she and her daughter embark on a road trip around the Balkans, through Bosnia and Montenegro, back to her parents' village. Clueless, disoriented, unable to finish what she starts, always doing a thousand things at once, but with a deep desire to get out of her country and change her life, Nada will try to reconcile with her past and accept her new destiny. The director's project is to follow female characters who live on "the edge", and to make films about ordinary people living in and rebelling against today's society. An intense, hectic and deeply touching mother-daughter relationship, the main characters of which are mother and daughter also in real life. Marta Hernaiz Pidal's feature debut premiered in the Forum section at Berlin International Film Festival 2018.
