Set against the breathtaking landscapes of Croatia, The Last Glass of Wine is a powerful and deeply personal documentary that explores the delicate balance between beauty and struggle. It exposes the hidden emotional and psychological battles beneath an idyllic exterior. Through a distinctly Eastern European lens—rich with pathos, dark humour, and carefully crafted artistic choices—the film reveals how a long-cherished tradition can spiral into a destructive addiction. At its core lies the story of an alcoholic within the nuclear family, framed by the filmmaker’s loss of her father. This intimate narrative expands into a broader socio-economic and cultural investigation, probing the question: how does one navigate an inheritance that is both a source of immense pride and deep pain? The Last Glass of Wine interweaves personal memory with regional and generational trauma, constructing a complex, multi-dimensional story that is honest, original, and courageous. It is a testament to the power of personal filmmaking and a moving reflection on resilience, identity, grief, love and hope.
