Tensions rise between restless teenager Julija and her oppressive father Ante when an old family friend arrives at their Croatian island home. As Ante attempts to broker a life-changing deal, the charismatic visitor gives Julija a taste of freedom, leaving her even more eager to rebel. Over a weekend seething with expectation, Julia thrusts her family into a dangerous whirlwind of desire and violence.

Director’s statement:
In Murina, I wanted to explore the tensions caused within a family by the arrival of a stranger, who leaves young Julija wanting to challenge the constraints of the patriarchal thinking she was born into.
