    ZAGREB: Croatian writer/director Ognjen Sviličić began filming the contemporary drama Quiet People on 18 March 2013. Shooting will wrap on 25 April 2013. 

    Quiet People/Mirni ljudi is a Croatian-French-Serbian-Macedonian coproduction with the premiere expected for March 2014.

    Sviličić’s (Armin) story follows two parents confronted with the accident of their teenage son and the came the coma that follows.
