    • Synopsis
    • This film tells the tragic story of Ana Dragičević from Rijeka, who was committed to the psychiatric institution of Lopača at the age of sixteen in an attempt to ‘cure’ her of homosexuality. It asks whether the injustice she experienced is merely an aberration in a system that normally functions well, or a symptom of a more widely accepted social climate which can serve as a metaphor for a ‘sick’ society. Above all, this is an emotional film about a girl who needs to re-establish her faith in people.
