Female directors in Croatian documentary production

Wait a Second

Tanja Golić

“When my father saw the film Wait a Second, he said it all looked like a fairy tale and that life couldn’t be like this. I don’t know. But I realised that whatever we wanted, whatever views, desires and expectations we approach life with, life always takes a stand on us. My film is about how to accept.” Tanja Golić
