Foreign Side

About This Movie

So, 'Foreign Side' is this neat little animated exploration of Zagreb through the eyes of a foreign tourist and Ema, who lives there. It’s got a nice blend of the charming and the gritty—like the city itself. You can feel Ema's internal struggle as she wrestles with both the romance of her home and its flaws, which is pretty relatable, honestly. The animation style has this whimsical quality that captures the city’s essence really well, without diving into heavy realism. The pacing flows like a casual day spent wandering the streets, which gives it a laid-back vibe. The whole thing feels intimate, not just a travelogue, but a personal journey reflecting on home, change, and what it means to belong. It stands out for its heartfelt approach, rather than flashy visuals or over-the-top storytelling.
