One of the world’s leading film festivals, the Berlin International Film Festival, will this year include a Croatian film in its programme.

A Stranger (original title: Obrana i zastitia), directed by Bobo Jelcic, has been officially included in this year’s programme. The plot of the film takes place in Mostar, a town divided into two sides, the Croatian and the Bosnian side, even twenty years after the war. The protagonist is a Croat named Slavko and the story revolves around his doubts whether to attend the funeral of his pre-war friend, a Muslim.
