Set in post-WWII Communist Yugoslavia, this drama spanning decades follows two filmmakers whose rising fame puts them under the control of the dystopic Soviet regime, forcing them to create propaganda while living under suspicion and fear. As they try to hold on to their art and to each other, they risk losing everything.

Selected as Croatia’s entry for the 2025 Academy Awards, Beautiful Evening, Beautiful Day is an epic story about love and loyalty. Raw, honest and politically charged, the film is a poignant tale of resistance — against oppression, against silence, and for the freedom to live and love without fear.
