Portrayal of the "Independent Republic of Peščenica" – Zagreb's old industrial suburb – and its colorful people.
Peščenica is an old industrial suburb of Zagreb. As a satirical depiction of Croatia's recent politics, it has been declared independent republic. What's it like there today? Over a year, the film crew was combing streets, avenues, parks and backyards, focusing on the lives of four Peščenica inhabitants: its self-proclaimed president, a teacher in a Roma school, a cleaning lady in a film distribution company and a young stage director. All that in order to portray Peščenopolis, the film's protagonist that floats between mud and clouds.
