Faraway

2023 · 109 min

A gentle, sunlit escape story about a worn-down woman finding breathing room and unexpected warmth far from home.

Directed by
Vanessa Jopp
Genres
Romance, Comedy
Starring
Naomi Krauss, Goran Bogdan, Adnan Maral
Overview
Zeynap Altin is at the end of her tether: she works far too much and is not valued at all by her husband, daughter and father. To make matters worse, the funeral home dressed her beloved late mother in a man's suit instead of her favorite dress. Enough is enough: Zeynep flees from Munich to the previously unknown holiday home on a Croatian island that her mother secretly bought years ago - with the hope of finding quiet, peace and herself there. If only the previous owner Josip, a rough islander, didn't still live on the same property and annoy her with his views and wisdom.
