Trailer
The script, written by Croatian actress Lana Barić, is about a woman married to a sailor for 10 years. After her fourth miscarriage, and under pressure from those around her, Tereza rethinks her choices and decides to turn the page. As she meets new men, a new Tereza emerges – more arrogant, more selfish, more free. Those professionals who have seen the film agree the character doesn’t come across as a victim but as a complex human being. “In all categories of film, and in a year dominated by major female issues and roles, ‘Tereza37’ left the most complete impression,” was the reaction of the jury awarding the Golden Arenas. Tereza37 has been hailed as a great feminist story, but also a story about the city of Split.
Produced by Focus Media, Tereza37 won the awards for Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actress, Best Editing and Best Make-up at the Pula Film Festival.
