Znam kako dišeš

Prosecutor Nevena Murtazić, a single mother in the process of divorce, investigates the case of the suicide of a teenage boy from the same school as her son Dino. The case soon attracts negative publicity when the bereaved father complains about her slow progress. Nevena earns little sympathy from her supervisors or the public for her understaffed department. The case takes on personal urgency when Nevena suspects the school may be hiding abuse that affects other students. Consumed by concern for Dino, who’s also started to skip classes, Nevena is blindsided when the victim’s father accuses Dino of being one of the abusers. Driven by endless motherly love and personal responsibility, Nevena desperately tries to pull together facts under relentless pressure from all sides, trying to fight for the truth in a society where justice is defined by an economical and male-oriented political elite, only supported by a long-term colleague and admirer and a newbie who keeps reporting to her superior behind her back. But the fact finding that makes Nevena so good at her job ends up pitting her against her son she fears she can no longer trust. (Venice International Film Festival)
