A Year of Endless Days

A Year of Endless Days follows film director Renata Lučić on a visit to her father, who lives in rural Croatia. Her birthplace is a mostly abandoned village with loads of beauty, but very little to offer. It is also a place she delightfully abandoned as soon as she turned 18. Her father Tomo and his best friend Joso stayed there. They were both left by their wives, who went to Austria and Germany. The two men live alone and hang out on a regular basis. Renata interrupts their daily routine. Worried over her father’s loneliness, she is trying to get to know and understand him better, as well as comprehend why her family fell apart.
