"The Stranger" In My Head

„Stranac“ u mojoj glavi"

Croatia, 2017, Petra Balekić

The film is in a sense a reconstruction of the book The Stranger written by Albert Camus. I've read that book 12 years ago. I mostly remember the influence the book left on me and the atmosphere it created, but when it comes to characters and action in it, there remain only fragments. So I tried to give those fragments some context for this short animation.
