PROGRAM 

Lied Der Adria (eng. Song of the Adriatic)
Director: Hanns Beck-Gaden, 1937. 
22 min

Marko is a handsome young man, despite his poverty. He makes a living by diving for shells while also exploring the sea depths in search of lost ancient treasure. Many girls admire him from afar, but his poverty is not appealing. A chance encounter with the beautiful Anka awakens in Marko the desire to prove that he is worthy of the girl's love. A Dalmatian take on Romeo and Juliet, twenty-two minutes of sea, sun, and song.

This short film, about the impossible love of a poor young man for a beautiful girl, was shot in Split and its surrounding areas. It starred one of the great sports stars of the time, Miro Mihovilović, with Desa Marović as his partner. The music for the film was composed by Ivo Tijardović.
