Mare lives right by the Dubrovnik airport with her husband and three teenage children. However, she has never flown herself. She loves her family and cares for them, but sometimes almost feels like a stranger in her own home. And the washing machine is broken. When a young Polish man moves into the house next door, she puts her life to the test.

The domestic drama Mare, the third film by Andrea Staka, the third to be screened in the program of the Haifa Festival, and her third collaboration with Marija Skaricic, won the Best Actress Award at the Sarajevo Festival.

Filmography: Cure: The Life of Another (2014), Fraulein (2006).
