Summary
Damir Zlatar Frey: Istrian Lady Macbeth
When a little-known film director sees a beautiful girl Anna, a painting student, on the main square of Zagreb, he knows that she is the embodiment of the main role of his film about the fatal Agnes Istrian Lady Macbeth. Anna, a beauty full of doubts, agrees to be an actress and enters into a complicated professional and love relationship with a man obsessed with his project.
Agneza is a ravishing femme fatale who settles in Istria with her child after the Second World War, in which she survived the horrors, determined to achieve her dreams - wealth, power and fame, and nothing will stand in her way. In a furious rhythm, we follow two destinies, two women who become one. These powerful and fragile female heroes are contemporary and timeless.
Mixing real and surreal, past and present, hot love scenes and dark secrets of human souls, Damir Zlatar Frey writes a novel about Istria, art, but mostly about the strength of women. Istrian Lady Macbeth is a novel about dual identities that raises many questions, among others whether we can determine our own destiny or is it determined by history and the environment.
