The first few weeks in the Kino Zona audience could enjoy the best recent domestic titles. This weekend brings the selection of this year's "Zagreb Film Festival" to the Kino Zona. On Saturday , November 16, in the concert hall of the "Rector's Palace" you will find the film that officially opened the 17th edition of the mentioned ZFF, comic drama "Alice and the Mayor".

It is a story that follows the long-serving mayor of Lyon (played by veteran Fabrice Luchini) who falls into an existential crisis and loses the recognizable zeal that adorned him during his long political career. Members of his office therefore decide to hire the young philosopher Alice (Anaïs Demoustier) to write motivational speeches for him and thus try to get him out of lethargy. This happens in an unexpected way and Alice suddenly becomes the mayor's kind of muse. The film received a special award at this year's Cannes Film Festival, and that knowledge alone should be a sufficient recommendation.
