Brief Storyline:
In the dark and deserted streets of the
Croatian city of Split's medieval Ghetto,
during the final two hours of New Year’s
Eve, three separate love stories - not
directly involved in the festivities -
intertwine with each other. Three couples
find themselves near the main Roman Square:
a smalltime drug dealer Nick and a widow
Maria with her son; a young junkie in a
crisis Maja, and a depressed American sailor
Franky and a pair of naive teenagers, Luke
and Angela. They all unsuccessfully try to
escape their individual extreme situations
only to find their lives permanently and
irreversibly changed. As we see their
stories develop a major concert performed by
a lively singer unfolds before an emotional
crowd gathered to usher in the New Year,
along with a traditional fireworks display
at the stroke of midnight.
Log line:
"A Wonderful Night in Split" shows three
love stories unfold and ending with events
profoundly and permanently altering the
lives of the characters in the Croatian city
of Split's medieval Ghetto, during the last
two hours of New Year’s Eve.

Interesting facts about the film:
- The entire film is shot at authentic
locations in the medieval Ghetto of the
Croatian city of Split, including all
interiors. This Ghetto is on UNESCO's List
of World Heritage as a cultural monument of
the highest category;
- Only actors from Split appear in the film,
to preserve authentic accents and
recognizable melody of speech characteristic
for the city of Split only;
- Half of the actors never appeared before
in front of a camera, including most of the
leading actors: Maja, Luke, Angela, etc.;
- Half of all the first-time actors are
non-professionals: Stuttering Joe (who does
not stutter in real life), Singer (Croatian
pop star in real life), Antisha, Sailors and
the Boy, to name a few;
- No digital effects were used; all the
special effects (including fireworks or
flight above the city) were done in real, on
location;

exterior locations, buildings or streets,
except lighting design. |
