On both sides of the ocean, everyone knows her as Ane Mljećka, humanitarian and promoter of Croatia in the world. The authors of the film, Ljiljana Šišmanović and Davor Borić, recognized the universal value of the film’s story. Portraying one woman, her island and their unbreakable bond, the film talks about traditional culture and all the challenges to preserve it in the modern world.

Ane Mljećka’s personality, her skills and knowledge, culinary skills, enthusiasm, and commitment to the preservation of traditional island values and Croatia are the driving force behind the action that follows Ane Mljećka in her everyday life on Mljet during the summer days, and before and during the 41st South Dalmatian Regatta. Ane hosts the participants of the regatta under the pine trees in the yard of her parents’ house in Pomena, with the mending of the “mriž (fishing nets)”, singing and traditional dishes that she prepared.
