Overview

Tensions rise between restless teenager Julija and her oppressive father Ante when an old family friend arrives at their Croatian island home. As Ante attempts to broker a life-changing deal, their tranquil yet isolated existence leaves Julija wanting more from this influential visitor, who provides a taste of liberation over a weekend laid bare to desire and violence. The murina of the title refers to the moray eel, which is willing to bite its own flesh in order to escape from a fisherman's nets. Executive-produced by Martin Scorsese, this is director Antoneta Alamat Kusijanovic's debut feature film.
