Anna Rubi: Your Life Without Me

A great work that was premiered at just ended festival in Sarajevo, where it had the honor to open the main competition programme for documentary films and where it was awarded with a special award for its exceptional values that highlight its most important dimension – fight for more humane world!

Intelligent, educated and empathetic people realized a long time ago that the wealth of the world is also in the existence of all beings that surround us. Many care about endangered pandas, Siberian tigers, and griffon vultures in our country. Foundations, states and governments readily participate in this care for all our small and large companions who cannot cope with the world that is becoming more and more cruel. But when it comes to people who cannot do the same as the majority, who are denied the ability to move and speak normally, and above all to live independently, they remain invisible to many. Unfortunately, also for some states and governments whose basic obligation is to take care of every citizen, especially the vulnerable. There is some concern when it comes to children, but when the children grow up, and those who take care of them are getting older and weaker, when help is needed the most, those who make decisions seems that they do not see that there are problems. This incredibly dramatic and exciting film tells about those often invisible wonderful people, who, surprisingly, still bring joy and warmth, about their most selfless protectors and representatives and the collision with the Kafkaesque state system of recklessness and absurdity. With the greatest respect and sincerity, we follow the touching and difficult everyday life, with immense admiration for the noble and dedicated advocates, mothers with stoic character and great human capacity for love and sacrifice, following the example of charismatic ancient heroines.

A film that takes us through numerous trials, enriches us and fills us with the power of love and spirit!
