Mira Furlan becomes the voice of the river Sava. On its 990-kilometre journey downstream, the longest river of former Yugoslavia communicates with people who share their memories, dreams, and visions of the future. According to its British director Matthew Somerville, this contemplative documentary is “a love letter to the Balkans, to the Sava, and to Mira Furlan”.

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.
