Delusion

Joza, a middle-aged professional driver, offers Stella, a young and attractive prostitute, a ride from Zadar to Zagreb. Joza remembers his traumatic war experiences and his son who returned from combat with a severe disability. Underneath her seemingly cold and calculated demeanor, Stella is also a grieving parent. During the ride, the two develop a special relationship.

Directed by Željko Senečić, Delusion leans on a strong ensemble — Sandra Lončarić, Božidar Orešković, Jagoda Kaloper — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1998.
