About This Movie

260 Days, directed by an unknown talent, offers a raw look at childhood innocence shattered by the brutal reality of war. The film immerses you in Marijan's world, a ten-year-old boy living in a small Croatian town, where his life flips upside down as friends and neighbors turn hostile overnight. The pacing is deliberate, allowing tension to build gradually, drawing viewers deeper into the chaos. The atmosphere is thick with dread, yet there are fleeting moments of warmth that remind us of what’s at stake. The performances are striking, especially from the young lead, capturing both vulnerability and resilience in a way that feels authentic. The practical effects, while not overly flashy, ground the horror in a gritty realism that lingers long after the credits roll.
