Continental Drift

15 mins. 2012.

Croatia, 1999. Adele, a young Australian woman travels by the sea, staying in an abandoned building which reverberates with echoes of war. She meets Antonija, whose life has been fractured by the conflicts that tore apart the former-Yugoslavia, and discovers the uncanny intimacy that can develop between strangers. A delicate atmospheric drama revealing the private idiosyncrasies of traveling alone, and the bittersweet poignancy of ephemeral romance.
