The Tempest of Neptun
On the Croatian island of Vis, a diverse group discusses their future, reflecting on the decline of storytelling and listening cultures. Fishermen, youth, intellectuals, and others, gather in cinematic dialogue, shaping the collective protagonist. Their debates on growth versus environmental protection connect past, present, and future; bridging local and global perspectives.
