“This film has shown that despite all our differences, nationalities and problems, love always wins”, Igor Šeregi said in a statement.
This Balkan anti-rom-com comedy follows a series of unexpected and hilarious twists as a Croatian businessman learns on his 50th birthday that he is about to go bankrupt, while at the same time discovering that his daughter, a student in London, is pregnant with the son of the Serbian prime minister.
A Croatian/Serbian coproduction, The Wedding was produced by Croatia’s Eclectica and coproduced by Serbia’s Viktorija film, with support from the Croatian Audiovisual Centre (HAVC), the MEDIA Sub-programme of the Creative Europe programme, and HRT. Duplicato Media (Blitz Group) is distributing it.
