I Would Rather Be A Stone

directed by Ana Hušman, Croatia 2024, 24’  Polish premiere

Through the voice of Little Jela, the film tells the story of the events that marked a generation and shaped the future of the landscape of Lika, a neglected and sparsely populated region of Croatia. The living conditions impacted on the personal lives of the people who lived there, their solitude, relationships, opportunities, apprehensions and hopes. Little Jela embodies several members of my own family which is predominantly composed of women mothers, grandmothers, sisters and aunts.
