In her third feature film, the Zurich-based filmmaker tells the story of Mare, a wife and mother in Croatia whose emotional world is shaken up when she meets a younger man. Mare premiered at last year's Berlinale; its Swiss theatrical release was interrupted by the lockdown and the jury wished the film 'a new chance on the big screen'.
