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.
