Geschichte
Sonja i bik (2012), directed by Vlatka Vorkapic, is a romantic comedy about two individuals from different backgrounds whose lives become intertwined due to an unusual circumstance involving a bull named Garonja. Ante (Goran Bogdan) is a charismatic insurance salesman from the Dalmatian hinterland and the son of a bullfight organizer. He is known for his persuasive powers. Sonja (Judita Frankovic), on the other hand, is an animal rights activist from Zagreb who staunchly opposes bullfighting. When Ante and Sonja's paths cross during a parliamentary vote regarding a law protecting animals, they clash due to their differing views. The story follows their subsequent interactions and how these two individuals with opposing perspectives navigate their complex relationship.
Zusammenfassung
Sonja i bik is a Croatian comedy that explores the themes of love, activism, and cultural differences through the unlikely pairing of Ante, a charming insurance salesman from the countryside, and Sonja, an urban animal rights activist. The film uses satire to comment on local media and institutions such as the Croatian Parliament. While the narrative focuses on the romantic tension between the two leads, it also incorporates humor and social commentary in its exploration of their relationship. Despite its focus on a specific cultural context, the film's themes of love across divides and activism make it relatable to broader audiences.
