Experiencing Interruptions?

Zagreb Quake, and Other Shaky Tales

The main theme of this short educational film is mysterious legends about old Zagreb, but also no less terrifying stories from the recent history of the capital of the Republic of Croatia.
These terrible stories about witches, dragons, the black queen, earthquakes and medieval fires are now being told to us by some new Zagreb kids, just as our grandmothers used to tell us by the warm fire of the fireplace, on a cold winter night.
BRIEF SYNOPSIS:
The students receive a text message from the teacher, who suggested to them, as a task until she returns from sick leave due to Covid-19,
to shoot a short film about the mysterious legends of Zagreb, in their own way.
