The Conspirators (Urotnici)
(Feature film in development)
This is one of the most crucial stories from Croatian history, and we want to elevate it to international recognition. This is a universally appealing story of patriotism and sacrifice of two legendary Croatian noblemen. The sacrifice and the legend of Zrinski and Frankopan are embedded in the foundations of Croatian sovereignty.
In the 17th century, the Croatian nobles Zrinski and Frankopan conspired with the Hungarians to free their lands from the tyranny of the Austrian Emperor Leopold. They were arrested and thrown into a dungeon. They refused the emperor’s pardon and, with their sacrifice, inspired future generations of Croatians who wanted independence and freedom.
