Backwaters
The story of the Croatian writer, journalist and columnist Zeljko Spoljar and his alter-ego Pavle Svirac, who, in turn, writes under the pseudonym - Literary Groupie. The film follows Zeljko's relationship with Svirac as a personality, his relationship with his ex-wife Maja Hrgovic (who until recently worked as a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia, and since then as a taxi driver in Split) as well as his relationships with his daughter Nora, family, society, culture, publishing houses and the editor-in-chief of "Nacional". Through all this, Spoljar/Svirac not only talks about domestic social dilemmas, problems, and conflicts, but also about himself as one of the most interesting phenomena of the contemporary Croatian cultural scene, in the context of local history, not so rare, ""misfit"" protagonists.
