Houses on sand
The documentary film "Houses on the Sand" follows the story of the consequences of the devastating Petrinja earthquake and the problems that have been buried for the past 30 years.
Through a combination of personal testimonies, interviews and archival material, the film sheds light on the challenges the community faced.
At the beginning, we meet Tamara Jovičić, the executive director of the association IKS, founded by a group of young enthusiasts who are trying with all their might to restore a semblance of normality to the devastated city.
Tamara is joined in her struggle by the members of the "Petrinja spring" association, Goran, Ana and Nevena, and together, despite the lack of institutional support, they manage to organize summer camps and various volunteer actions.
The difficult and depressing reality sometimes seems as if there is no way out of it.
The former mayor was accused of theft of millions, while suspicious companies are springing up around the city, without which even a simple demolition cannot be done.
Damir Vanđelić, former director of the Reconstruction Fund, explains the broader context of the bureaucratic situation.
Pressures, manipulations, political games and the general incompetence of people in positions are a daily problem faced by Tamara and her organization.
