- Orig. Title: Djevojka koja se nije bojala medvjeda
In a silent animated folktale rooted in Balkan mythology and told with the starkness of a feminist western, a young girl escapes the roles forced on her by disguising herself as a man. On her journey, she outwits devils, slays beasts, and earns the respect of kings - proving to the world that she has no fear. But her final test comes when she meets a shapeshifting dragon who sees what she's tried to hide all along. The Girl Who Wasn't Afraid of Bears is a story about courage, identity, and the quiet cost of becoming what the world expects.
