Manja

2023 · 93 min

A quiet, observant character study that sits with a restless young woman's alienation and small collisions, feeling raw and true to life.

Overview: A story about a 19-year-old girl Manja who, after her parents' divorce, moved with her mother from Zrenjanin to Novi Sad. Manja is in conflict with everyone, from her sister and mother to the new town where she has acquired a single friend, Slonče. He has a band and is hopelessly in love with Manja which she doesn't notice. She did not enroll in college, so she is looking for a job, after being fired from a beauty salon. After finding a new job in the delivery service, Manja also meets Daniel, who is 15 years her senior.
