Greetings from the Secretariat

Synopsis

On the paradise island, not everything is as idyllic as it seems. Compiled from photographs discovered in an abandoned police station, this criminal found footage film takes us to the other side of the mirror of sunny serenity and colorful attractions of a popular tourist destination in Croatia. Spanning several decades and two political systems, the photographs of crime scenes take on their own syntax and weave a story about a society and its pathologies.
