Orbanići Unplugged

Three years after he accidentaly became a music star, Alen Vitasovic, people close to him as well as complete strangers debate about what really happened in this incredibly swift chain of events...

Alen Vitasović’s life would have undoubtedly been peaceful and ordinary, if things had not taken a completely unpredictable turn at one point. The first song he recorded with no great ambitions achieved unprecedented success overnight, making Alen the most famous singer in the country. From that moment on, Alen’s life gained speed: he would be cared and thought about, worshipped and written by different unknown people, and his wife would answer countless phone calls. He would live everything he had always dreamed of, but it would all look much different than he had ever thought.

Three years later, Alen, his near ones and complete strangers debate about what really happened in this incredibly swift chain of events...

The film was made at a documentary workshop within the Imaginary Academy in Grožnjan.
