Lost love can make you mad, especially if you take it for granted during the relationship. At the end, when it's gone you finally realize the void inside your life. Alan Despot (Janko Popovic Volaric) is a successful graphic designer whose life, both privately and professionally, turns upside down after a failed romantic relationship. He's desperately trying to find comfort in alcohol and cocaine entering a downward spiral. The sudden death of a distant relative allows him to escape his daily routine by going to a funeral in the other part of the country with his estranged father Bruno Despot (Zlatko Buric).

This film is not a must-watch but it's a good and entertaining film if you want to watch something as a relaxation. The story and acting are solid, especially the performance of father Bruno Despot. He manages to capture the persona of a passive unconventional artistic guy who just doesn't care too much about organized family life. Even though there are humorous scenes there aren't too many epic and memorable scenes or monologues/dialogues that would make this film a must-watch classic. The female characters could have been better developed. We just don't get too much insight into their lives and may come across as one-dimensional and easy.

I'm glad that I have watched the film. It is not hard to connect with different characters in the movie and see a part of yourself and your past mistakes in some situations.

...because you are affraid of being alone. : This is lovely comedy-drama, an original movie. His "hardship" feels authentic, but clearly the goal of the movie is to show us how dumb we can be for, even not so real, love. Loved the story and charaters. Must see. Dad is a specially awesome guy, but loved them all.

Nevio Marasovic scores again! This is a bittersweet story about a successful thirty-something graphic designer from Zagreb, a playboy with several bad habits (addictions, actually), going through a nervous breakdown after being dumped by his girlfriend. A chip from the old block, when hell breaks loose, he decides to accompany his father to a remote Croatian island for the funeral of some long forgotten aunt... Photography is stunning, acting as well, rhythm is perfectly balanced. 103 minutes of pure enjoyment.

The movie borrows from some well-known sources, but does a superb job at getting away with it ! A delicious watch.
