“Delicate … Ogresta’s precise approach leaves no room for error: every frame is composed, shot, and cut at exactly the right place.”

Marko Stojiljković, Cineuropa

Mirjana (Vanja Ćirić) is showing signs that she’s having a midlife crisis. She’s stuck in both a largely unrewarding job and an ongoing affair with her married boss. Divorced, she also has a challenging, contentious relationship with her daughter, and, on the horizon, Mirjana is also dreading a visit from her emotionally distant mother. All this, plus her 20-year work anniversary celebration is approaching, an anniversary she never wanted to reach. Pondering her past, present, and possible futures, Mirjana is ready to do something. But what? Based on A play about Mirjana and those around her by award-winning playwright Ivor Martinić, A Blue Flower is a revealing exploration of the relationships between three generations of women. It won Best Film, Lead Actress, and Director awards at the Pula Film Festival in Croatia.
