MY NEIGHBOUR TANJA (2006)

Documentary film, IMX , colour, 60', 2006.; Croatian Television / Croatian Film Clubs’ Association

The initial bad luck of the 57-year old Tanja Kursar (born as an illegitimate child, "a bastard") left a permanent mark on her life: her grandfather could not accept her existence for a long time, the careless father she had met only twice in her lifetime, and by accident, the distraught step father molested her, her husband cheated on her… She lived through it all. She raised two children all by herself, found a job, found strength to finish school, even "played" few roles in movies… and today, stronger than ever, she is courageously living her life.
