Faraway plot

Zeynep Altin is at the end of her tether. She's overworked, underappreciated by her husband, daughter, and aging father, and to top it off, the funeral home has just put her beloved late mother in a man's suit instead of her favorite dress. That is the last straw for Zeynep, who flees Munich for the Croatian island house that her mother secretly bought years ago, hoping to find peace there and find herself again. But she hasn't reckoned with Josip, a rugged islander who was the cottage's previous owner. It turns out he still lives on the same piece of land.

Atmospheric romcom. Not with typical Hollywood stars for once, but with actors unknown to me but very charismatic. Setting is Croatia, ideal for a nice romantic story. Naomi Krauss is a madam with flair and Goran Bogdan is the man with successful dry humour. For me, the chemistry between the two is successful. Still enjoyed this story. What's also nice is that the actors have different native languages. You have German, Turkish and Croatian. And despite these language backgrounds, they all speak English with an accent. And especially with Goran this has a comical added value. Recommended for fans of the romcom genre. 4*

Pleasant romcom about a housewife, who repeatedly encounters unwillingness or misunderstanding at home. After the death of her mother, she decides to let things go in an attempt to rediscover herself on a remote island in Croatia. Reluctantly, a local Adonis becomes her benchmark. A very nice film (shot in beautiful surroundings) until the moment that all sorts of peripheral characters come to disrupt the course of events. Shame.

A film about a Turkish woman who is tired of the routine and especially the role of a maid in her family. She leaves everything behind and moves to her deceased mother's inherited cottage in Croatia. In itself it doesn't mean much. She meets a local there whom she first hates and later loves. Of course, the family left behind also has to come up.

All this, albeit in a relaxed, light-hearted, friendly atmosphere. So it felt a bit strange. But very atmospheric and beautifully shot. Krauss is already doing very well. Very narrow 3.0*.
