Only When I Laugh

Samo kad se smijem Croatie-Serbie 2023 | Vanja Juranić | vostEN | 73' | digital | Cast : Tihana Lazović, Elodie Paleka, Slavko Sobin, Jasna Đuričić

Tina lives for her family and dreams about returning to university. However, her initially supportive husband is unable to tolerate such a change in their life and turns to violence. What is the way out of an abusive relationship?

« The film has a certain universal appeal and importance that reaches beyond national and regional borders. The acting is stellar throughout, with Tihana Lazović dominating the screen with her presence and keen instincts in an emotionally demanding role, but also creating different types of compellingly uneasy chemistry with other actors. » (Cineuropa)
