But the challenges of living in a burgeoning country extinguished Ivonas dreams one after another and a devastating secret forced her to set him free.

Now Vlaho is remarried and a proud father of two, while Ivonas life has taken a downward turn. In her thirties, she has returned to her childhood home to care for her ailing father. Bewildered by lifes disappointments, she finds solace in reconnecting with Vlaho and is welcomed into his family by his spirited wife, Marina. But when a new man enters Ivonas life, the carefully cultivated dynamic between the three is disrupted, forcing a reckoning for all involved.

Set against the mesmerizing Croatian coastline, Slanting Towards the Sea is a cinematic, emotionally searing debut about the fragile nature of potential and the transcendence of love.
