Eye

A young girl is glancing through a family photo album. Childhood memories come to life, still pictures start moving. Souvenirs become a metaphorical imaginary story about past and future.

In this typically wild ride by Krešimir Zimonić a lonesome girl at the seashore unexpectedly learns something about herself.

In the cartoon transformations, we follow the struggle of the embryo to form into an articulated being. The being - the man is helped by the being - the woman to complete and become complete. But gender-opposed beings devour each other in the chaos of the universe and reduce their mythical game to eternal repetition and search for meaning in form.

Krešimir Zimonić's take on the underlying nature of a hard-fought soccer game.

This film was conceived back in the eighties, just like the Slovenian band Lačni Franc's song. After numerous changes, it was completed in 1992. At the second edition of the Croatian Film Days, it won the award for Best Animated Film. Dražen Žarković, Josip Zanki, Miroslav Zubović, Magda Dulčić, Ninoslav Kunc collaborated on the film.

An attempt at escaping the dreary daily routine results in wondrous imaginary journeys through space and time. Zlatka is following a dream and young girl’s illusions of her own, and when she arrives to the end of this road (the end of the world), Zlatka tries to cross this boundary, but succeeds only partially. Her imaginary journey is continued by the character of Anima, a fairylike butterfly creature who knows no limits or boundaries. The world she travels is colourful but empty, two-dimensional and frozen in a moment in time.
