Tressette: A Story of an Island is a charming little drama about life on a small Dalmatian island and the very small community there, living an obscure and boring life in the off season.

When one member of the community dies, it sparks a desperate search for a replacement player for the card game Treseta. The search for a player reveals hidden secrets of the small community.

The individual characters are realistic and superbly acted. This is a brilliant and painful look at a small island community.
