    ZAGREB: Vanja Svilicić is preparing her first feature, Zagreb Cappuccino, produced by Damir Teresak through Maxima Film (www.maxima-film.hr).

    The main characters in the script written by Vanja Svilicić together with Ognjen Svilicić are two best friends in their thirties, Petra and Kika. Petra lives a conventional life in Zagreb, and Kika lives in Köln. The two reunite because of Petra's unexpected divorce. Kika, an emancipated party girl, arrives in Croatia's capital in order to teach her friend how to carry on without a husband.

    The total budget is 600,000 EUR of which 330,000 EUR is already in place, Teresak told FNE. The project received a grant of 325,071 EUR/2,399,023 HRK from the Croatian Audiovisual Centre (www.havc.hr) in March 2011.

    Shooting is planned to take place between 15 March and 30 April 2013 with the premiere expected for early December 2013. No sales agent is attached to the project yet.
