Nezaboravno ljeto Mary Jane

Nezaboravno ljeto Mary Jane

Jassica Anya Blau

Baltimore, 1975. Fourteen-year-old Mary Jane likes to cook with her mother, sing in the church choir and listen to popular songs from Broadway musicals.

She is shy and withdrawn, so she gladly agrees to babysit five-year-old Izzy during the summer - the daughter of Dr. Cone and his wife, whom Mary Jane's mother considers a respectable and decent family. On the very first day, Mary Jane notices that the Cone household is completely different from her own - everywhere there is a relaxed atmosphere and disorder, and Dr. and Mrs. Cone raise Izzy very liberally. But the real surprise comes when he discovers that Dr. Cone is a psychiatrist who will secretly host the famous rock musician Jimmy, who is recovering from drugs, and his wife, the famous actress Sheba, during the summer. Along with them, Mary Jane will discover new currents of the stormy seventies - freedom of choice and the awakening of feminism, rock'n'roll and rebellion, and the dangers of drugs and alcohol. Surprised by the new world she met, so different from the one she had known before, she will begin to question her future and wonder what kind of person she wants to become...
