Seventh Heaven
dir. JASNA NANUT (Croatia)
DUTCH PREMIERE
An entertaining, bitter-sweet, bizarre, and sometimes hilarious film about a midlife crisis and an unfaithful man on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Nino Radman is a man with too many women and too little time, a walking recipe for disaster. Too afraid to tell his wife that he fell for another woman, he seeks help from an “expert” whose advice leads him into even greater chaos. Living in fear of his own wife, he becomes paranoid, and turns into a ticking bomb that might explode any minute. Whether he will triumph or fail is revealed in this comedy full of unexpected twists, where the only thing bigger than Nino’s problems is his blood pressure. Marvellously performed by Kreso Mikic, one of the best Croatian actors and an excellent comedian.
