When her mother falls very ill, Jasna, a Croatian living in Germany, is forced to return to the place she has avoided for most of her life. The story about the relationship between a mother and daughter also serves as a portrait of small-town life, a place where well-intentioned people often do more harm than good. The anxieties of the seaside community gradually reveal class, status and gender tensions that shaped the characters of both mother and daughter – their stubbornness, strength but also their tragic flaws. Mater (Pula 2020 – Best Debut, Best Actress, Best Camera) is a debut by Jure Pavlović, whose short, Picnic (ZFF 2015 – special mention) received the prestigious European Film Award, also dubbed the “European Oscar”.
