Public rosary prayer in Zagreb’s main city square has become one of the focal points of social tensions in Croatia. This observational documentary film juxtaposes, through editing, portraits of two groups and their messages: men gathered in prayer and protesters who consider the rosary participants’ intentions socially dangerous. Social media comments reflect broader public opinion, deepening the conflict. The film captures the dynamics of the city square, from early-morning idyll to a culmination of tension, allowing the viewer to become a participant in the events and draw their own conclusions.
