A film about a village left to its own devices. A story about coexistence on a river that separates, yet also connects two worlds that cannot do without each other.
Dubica is a documentary film about Hrvatska Dubica, a village on the river Una, on the border of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. This place never recovered from the destruction in the 1990s War of Independence. It is effectively dying out, left to its own devices and a dwindling number of remaining inhabitants. Through interviews with several intriguing protagonists, we get
a wider picture of the reasons for the decline of the Croatian countryside and farming industry. The war that had ended more than 20 years ago is definitely not its sole cause. As we watch images from the beautiful river Una, which is being devastated due to questionable political decisions, a question emerges: is there after all a future for this and many other similar villages in Croatia?
