Mirjana is clearly showing signs that she’s having a mid-life crisis. She’s stuck in a largely unrewarding job and she’s having an ongoing affair with her married boss. Divorced and having a challenging, contentious relationship with her daughter, Mirjana is also dreading an impending visit by her emotionally distant mother. All this, plus her 20-year work anniversary celebration is approaching, an anniversary she never wanted for a job she dislikes. Pondering her past, her present, and her possible futures, Mirjana is ready to do something. But what? Based on “A Play About Mirjana and Those Around Her” by Ivor Martinić, A Blue Flower is a revealing exploration of the relationships between three generations of women. It won Best Film, Best Actress, and Best Director awards at the Pula Film Festival in Croatia in 2021.
