”Like a coming-of-age story written by Patricia Highsmith." – Variety

The Croatian coast, with its azure Adriatic Sea and white sandy beaches, is a paradise for many. But teenager Julija sees it as a prison she wants to escape from. Her life is controlled in every way by her despotic father Ante. He expects obedience and the maintenance of a happy facade from both his daughter and his wife Nela. When an old friend of the family comes to visit, he immediately becomes the center of attention. Father, mother, and daughter all project their plans and desires onto the charming millionaire Javier. Ante wants to inspire him to invest money in a project that will increase the coastal villages' appeal to tourists. Nela rekindles the youthful romance she and Javier once had. And Julija sees in Javier a possible escape from her stifling existence. The tension rises under the hot sun. Antoneta Alamat Kusijanovic gives us a dense, ominous, and very powerful feature film debut, based on her short filmInto The Blue from 2017. Gracija Filipovic impresses greatly in the lead role as Julija, together with an ensemble whose performances increase the dramatic tension all the way to the end."Sun-drenched noir with a dark glow" — Variety "Delivers an explosive finale" — Screen DailyCharged atmosphere in beautiful surroundings – The Film Stage
