Plot

Rua vjetrova (Wind rose) is a Croatian television soap opera. The show was created by Dinko Paleka and first broadcast on RTL Televizija on 29 August 2011. Rua vjetrova is an original idea made by Dinko Paleka, a project that he was working on for over 3 years. It is about the lives and loves of both young and older characters in Split (second major city in Croatia). The focus is on the old-fashioned Matoi family, wealthy Odak family and the middle-class Jelavi family. The soap was renewed for a second season.

The backbone of the series is a love story between two young people from different climes and quite different families. The girl is Ines Matoi, a young and energetic daughter of well-known and respected lawyer Suzana Matoi and the young man is Marko Odak, successor to his father's business empire, based on dubious contracts. Much intrigue and inexplicable actions of parents when children are involved, collapse of love and deception, political and business shenanigans and the friendships that are born or are closed will enter the homes of viewers and tickle the imagination of all those who will be found in some of the characters. The three main families, Matoi, Odak and Jelavi, are at first glance quite different and not compatible. However the series will certainly intertwine, and their life problems and incredible stories, through various situations will connect them with each other, argue them ecc. Matoi family is the old town family who have for decades engaged in law and who live in a large apartment in the old part of Split. Once a warm home, now it's just a reminder of a past. Love and harmony rules their house for many times, but now coldness and distrust sneaked into the family. Odak family originates from the Dalmatian hinterland, and enhance the construction work in the nineties, often in dubious ways. They are traditional, family people who stick together, but even in their family the mysteries and intrigues will cause a lot of trouble. Jelavi family are ordinary people who work hard in order to earn an average, but still are living an easy life. Although they don't have much money, they have each other, regardless of the problems that arise within families, generally agree that most problems are dealt with at the end with a conversation and laughter, which often lack Matoi and Odak families.
