Crossing Europe

2 Sunny Days

1 hr. 20 min. | Drama | N/A

Martina and Peter, a married couple who are growing apart, come to the Croatian coast to reconcile their differences and recapture the closeness they once shared. However, they are about to experience a vacation that is anything but quiet and intimate. Instead, they are embroiled in tension, arguments and emotional isolations, with Martina flirting with a handsome tour guide, and Peter's nerves increasingly on edge. All this turmoil ultimately draws them into a life-or-death situation. “I do not know how war looks like, or how adventure looks like, but I know a lot about relationships. And I always find a story which allows me to explore certain emotional dimensions,” says director Ognjen Sviličić.
