Maja comes to a small Croatian island to prove that the late sea captain Jakša was her father and to collect her fair share of the inheritance. Since the procedure can be lengthy, she decides to stay there for a while. The only option for her is to take a waitressing job at the bar owned by Mayor Ićo which also comes with free accommodation. There, she meets an older US expat of Yugoslav origin, Saša, who fancies himself an aspiring writer and has moved there for the nostalgic aspect of the place. A romance sets in, but his life situation is just as complicated as hers. As seemingly innocent incidents threaten to destroy the fragile ‘ecosystem’ of human relationships on the island, Maja’s past comes back to haunt her.
“It’s a comedy on the edges. It’s a film about growing up. What’s funny is the main character is 30 years old, but it’s a story of a woman who never grew up. About someone who had a bitter past, and she comes to this remote island when her father dies, to get a piece of his property. But in the end, she gets something completely different. And she grows up, in a way.” (Danis Tanović)
