Mirror of Nightingales Mirror of Nightingales Karla Lulić Producers Karla Lulić, Jelena Madaric Lab Edition 12 , 2024 SCENE PITCH Production Dobar Films, Croatia; Avanpost Media, Romania; Delirium Films, Serbia Country Croatia, Romania, Serbia SYNOPSIS In a remote village somewhere in the Balkans lives Dora, a professional mourner. At her job, she is the best in the village, when she cries, even the dead weep. One day, she comes late to a funeral and cries at the wrong grave. In her desperate search for new crying gigs, she meets Dunda, a man who desperately wants, but cannot die. Their love breaks the spell, so Dora is now able to truly live, while Dunda is able to finally die. DIRECTOR'S NOTE Light, texture and composition are in the style of British impressionism, inspired by French impressionism, with rural dreamy landscapes including people and bright sunlight. This choice contributes to the touch of magic realism in this film. Sun will burn the streets and forests, creating an image of a slightly outdated photograph, but full of life. Interiors are minimalist, dusty and dark, with dark brown earthly shades and sun barely coming through lace curtains. This play between light and darkness will create a dreamy atmosphere, almost like giving light to the subconscious, dark and taboo. The duality of black vs. white / death vs. life, and the decisions made by the characters, will be marked by the camera. Wide shots will dominate in the scenes of life, youth and outside. Scenes of death, blackness, adults, villages and interiors, will be marked with tighter shots, evoking the feeling of pressure of growing up and oppressing tradition. LOG LINE A story about Dora, a professional mourner. She is the best mourner in the village, and when she cries, even the dead weep.
