Red Water

1989 on the Dalmatian Coast and the investigation into a young woman’s disappearance grinds to a halt as Yugoslavia descends into war. Silva is beautiful and cheeky, she has many admirers; but the police investigation reveals a more complex young woman than the one her family knew – a high school student who dabbles in drugs and deals in heroin.

But Silva’s brother Mate loves her and stubbornly continues to search for her amid the upheaval caused by the fall of communism and five years of conflict. It will be almost 30 years before he, and the rest of her family, discover Silva’s fate.
