Hotel Pula
Award-winning documentarist Andrej Korovljev lures real-life history into his multicultural hometown for his first fiction film. Personal memories of the 90s blossom in emotional authenticity with a skilful decision to shoot in an abandoned ghost hotel “Pula”, which provided temporary rooms for refugees during the Balkan War in 1995.
Renowned Bosnian actor Ermin Bravo and remarkable debutant Nika Grbelja embody very persuasively a casual stray love, doomed to inevitably end in a heartbreaking separation. Underage high school student Una enchantingly interrupts the sad and painful routine of Bosnian Mahir, 22 years her senior. As the flirty girl gradually grows into a young woman, a gravely hurt guest unravels the impossibility of healing from wounds of guilt, hate and blame.
