Summary
Sonja i bik is a Croatian comedy that explores the themes of love, activism, and cultural differences through the unlikely pairing of Ante, a charming insurance salesman from the countryside, and Sonja, an urban animal rights activist. The film uses satire to comment on local media and institutions such as the Croatian Parliament. While the narrative focuses on the romantic tension between the two leads, it also incorporates humor and social commentary in its exploration of their relationship. Despite its focus on a specific cultural context, the film's themes of love across divides and activism make it relatable to broader audiences.
