Horvat's Choice

The narrative unfolds in 1918, capturing the chaotic aftermath of The Great War. As the Austro-Hungarian empire crumbles, the story follows a city journalist who seeks solace by becoming a country schoolteacher. However, the village life proves to be just as dangerous, as the militaristic policies of the imperial government extend into rural areas.

Featuring a strong cast, including Rade Šerbedžija and Milena Dravić, Horvat's Choice delves into themes of conflict and the personal struggles of individuals caught in a historical upheaval. The film's setting in Croatia during a significant historical moment adds depth to its narrative, making it a compelling watch for those interested in the era and its cinematic representations.
