Safe Place
Juraj Lerotic / HR, 2022 / 103 min.
The life of Bruno is drastically transformed after his younger brother Damir attempts suicide. This raw, authentic story is autobiographical – the Croatian director plays himself. Winner of Best Actor, Filmmakers of the Present at the Locarno International Film Festival. The film was also awarded Best Film of the International Competition of Indielisboa.
After his brother Damir attempts suicide, Bruno feels left out in the cold; he can’t find a 'safe place' in this unemotional, distant society. As they seek help, the family come up against a wall of hostile police officers. The health service also lets Damir down. In raw, lyrical, sensitive images, director Juraj Lerotić condemns those services that turned a blind eye to an acute mental health crisis within a family.
In Eye and national cinemas.

Screened at prominent national and international festivals, yet never released in Dutch cinemas. Quite unjustly so, Eye Filmmuseum thinks, and so it has once again brought an exceptional selection of films from international festivals to the Netherlands.
