Wake Me

Zbudi me Slovénie-Croatie-Serbie 2022 | Marko Šantić | vostEN | 85' | digital | Cast : Jure Henigman, Živa Selan, Timon Šturbej, Nataša Barbara Gračner

After waking up in hospital with memory loss, Rok returns to his industrial hometown forgetting why he got away from there. Gradually he re-assembles the mosaic of his forgotten past and starts taking responsibility for his past actions. Realising who he used to be, he feels the urge to prevent his brother from following down the same path.

« Šantić strikes an impressive note of ambiguity caught between resignation and hope. » (Eye for Film)

« This movie feels genuine, and the reason for this is its treatment of the main character, played by Henigman in an all-in fashion, not to mention the film’s locations and social landscapes. » (Cineuropa)
