Croatia, North Macedonia, Slovenia 2023 – Director: Petra Seliškar – Original version with English subtitles – Length: 90 min.
Urška throws herself into the Macedonian water as she throws herself into life – in defiance of all her baffling diagnoses. “Something started to boil inside me again.” First there was encephalitis leading to a coma, then vasculitis of the central nervous system. Her friend and filmmaker combines old and new footage to weave a dazzling cloak around her heroine. Sara Gómez
