Croatia, seven years after bankruptcy. There is a fight going on in the world - water has become more precious than oil. In order to get hold of it, the powerful are ready to start wars, conquer, destroy, and even plant a zombie-virus. Mico, a bon viveur from Zagreb, whose daily routine includes massage parlours, restaurants and cinemas, where he watches a movie series featuring his favorite actress Franka Anic, is caught completely off guard by the zombie-epidemics. Nevertheless, he boldly embarks on an Odyssey accompanied by his movie heroine, with one highly unattainable, goal: to survive.

Why it matters

A post-apocalyptic zombie tale that blends regional politics with genre thrills, capturing a uniquely Croatian dystopia where water wars and viral outbreaks collide.

  • A rare Eastern European take on the zombie apocalypse, steeped in local socio-economic anxieties post-bankruptcy.
  • Mico’s hedonistic lifestyle sharply contrasts the grim collapse around him, offering darkly comedic moments amid the chaos.
  • Practical effects and zombie design lean into gritty, grounded horror rather than glossy CGI spectacle.
  • Fans of international genre cinema and political allegory will appreciate its blend of survival madness and cultural specificity.
