LICA KOJA SVIJETLE U MRAKU (orig. title)

feature | documentary

storyline: Seemingly incompatible characters are bound together by a common problem: the consequences of exposure to screens. Everyone in the film has their own goal: Tin wants to beat his addiction in the Internet Rehabilitation Department. Faced with his son’s suicide over a video game, Domagoj tries to keep his promise and swim to 50 islands. Psychologist Tajana is doing research on the use of cell phones by students to complete her scientific work. Neuropsychiatrist Manfred Spitzer shocks the world by wanting to point out the fatality of screen exposure.
