Otter (Montenegrin: Vidra) is a 2025 coming-of-agedrama film directed by Srdjan Vuletic. The film is about sixteen-year-old Hana, who has to overcome not one, but two traumas - the death of her father and the betrayal of her first love.[1][2]
Sixteen-year-old Hana, a reserved teenager, is thrilled when her crush, Balsha, invites her on a lake trip to film a solar eclipse. However, the excitement is short-lived — the next morning, her father, a former elite pilot, passes away. In his will, he requested to be buried in a spacesuit. While Hana’s mother wants to honour his wish, she struggles to withstand the pressure from relatives demanding a traditional burial. Overwhelmed and upset, Hana escapes to the lake. There, Balsha's behavior turns aggressive, shattering her expectations. Hana finds herself battling on two fronts: at home, to support her mother and defy her overbearing family, and outside, to demand respect and reject being reduced to a sexual object. She must take control or risk her "future be as dark as the darkness of the solar eclipse".
