Sun-kissed hillsides and waves lapping the shore of an island floating in the Adriatic Sea is paradise for most, but not for Julija. Even though it’s home, it may as well be a prison. It’s no secret Julija despises her father, Ante, who’s constantly berating her and belittling her breathtakingly beautiful mother, Lela. Forced to spear fish alongside her father daily and endure his controlling taunts, Julija manages to rebel in whatever small ways she can. When Javier, a wealthy businessman and lifelong friend of Ante, pays the family a visit, Julija longs for a life where Javier is her loving, supportive father. Javier and Lela’s romantic tension signals a past that could never be. Although degrading and abusive, Ante is not blind and sees the rifts Javier’s presence is carving through his family. An ominous coming-of-age story, MURINA overflows with jealousy, conflicted passion, and delightfully menacing intentions. —A.B.
