Snovi i kulise
Split, summer 1936. A body tangled in a fishing net launches Inspector Bulat’s investigation, linking tourists, filmmakers, refugees and political rivals as the threat of war shadows the city’s summer life.
Split, summer 1936: tourist bustle coexists with political unease. As Berlin prepares for the Olympic Games, foreign visitors, filmmakers and Jewish refugees pass through the city. A body discovered in a fishing net sets an investigation in motion.
Inspector Bulat, grieving for his wife, encounters a case whose clues point in different directions. A fisherman accused of murder, underground communists and an Italian fascist family belong to its interwoven world. The crime story reveals a city divided by competing interests, private secrets and political tensions.
Alida Bremer evokes Split through its streets, harbour, scents, conversations and everyday pleasures. Cinema adds another dimension, drawing attention to the distance between public appearances and what happens behind the scenes. Romantic and espionage threads contribute to a society struggling to preserve normality.
Snovi i kulise combines a criminal investigation with a historical portrait of Split. Mediterranean vitality meets Europe’s ideological conflicts, giving ordinary summer life the significance of a moment when an era is approaching its end.
