In 37 BC, a young Illyrian named Volsus joins a Roman unit whose encounters with local, supposedly subjugated Illyrian tribes turn its seemingly simple task of collecting taxes into a perilous journey full of unexpected twists. Through the eyes of the youngster, regarded by the Romans as a primitive barbarian, we see an archaic, emotional world of quaint and brutal laws and traditions, not all that different from our own.

The second feature film from Hana Jušić (Quit Staring at My Plate) is a darkly poetic neo-Western about a mysterious Chilean woman who brings unrest to a traditional Croatian shepherding community at the beginning of the 20th century. Blending elements of Wuthering Heights, Croatian folklore, and Jane Campion’s The Piano, the film earned its two leading actresses an award at Locarno.
