The Voice
Croatian Programme - Croatian Film
When he arrives at a Catholic boarding school, Goran feels stifled by instant religion that is being rammed down his throat. He rejects it all, convinced that we need not believe something that is forced upon us. Even when everyone turns against him, he stands firm and refuses to convert.
