How I Learned to Fly

A tender story of growing up and reconciliation

Radivoje Andrić family film based on Jasminka Petrović novel — a summer on Hvar with grandma Marija.

Kino Riffraff, Zürich

About the show

Twelve-year-old Sofija (Klara Hrvanović) dreams of camping with her friends and her first kiss. Instead, she has to spend the summer in a run-down family house on Hvar, with her slightly overbearing grandmother Marija (Olga Odanović) and eccentric great-aunt Luce (Snježana Sinovčić). With no company, no signal and no internet, Sofija life on Hvar feels unbearable — but the monotony soon breaks with grandma Marija strange behaviour. Sofija suspects a secret romance, and her investigation into her grandmother love life uncovers a long-kept family secret. With new friendships, crushes and adventure, Sofija gets the summer of her dreams — and much more than she could have imagined.
