Sailing Close to the Wind

Roko (24), a sailor from the Mediterranean town of Split, is imprisoned for killing three drug dealers with an automatic rifle in broad daylight on the town’s promenade. Yet the public hails him as a vigilante hero, glorifying an act of cold-blooded murder. His monotonous prison routine is disrupted by Nika (34), a filmmaker intrigued by his story. At first, she follows the media narrative, and Roko enjoys this spotlight. He presents himself as a victim of a violent childhood and a broken system. But layer by layer, his charm twists into control. The deeper Nika digs, the more Roko manipulates. What begins as a film about justice slowly turns into a psychological game, played by the mind of a narcissist who faked insanity — not just to fool the system, but to become a street legend.
