Kick and Scream

a film by Nina Violic

Croatia | Croatian | Feature | Drama | 2021 | 76'

synopsis

Kick and Scream follows the final half-hour of a marriage. Through the perspectives of wife, husband and their six-year old child, where reality is intertwined with puppet play, we learn about their own truths, becoming less certain of our initial judgment of characters. Kick and Scream is not another story about divorce; it is a story about the end of love, the realization, the awakening, the determination, and finally the hope that, no matter how painful, there is always a way out.
