Family makes you stronger, but it can also tear you apart. This uncompromising documentary delves into the complexities of a romantic relationship between two people from different backgrounds.

Participatory observation about the Croatian-Roma couple Tea and Mirsad, their daughter Frida, and an attempt at a life together, stretched between family pressure and compromises they are both willing to make. Their respective endowments were economically and culturally practically incompatible, so they had to face the unrewarding challenge of balancing their family baggage in the form of previous generations’ legacy on the road between Croatia and Kosovo.

Both screenings include a Q&A with the director Tea Vidović Dalipi.
