Pavo Marinkovic is in post production with “Ministry of Love”

Pavo worked on and improved his script “Ministry of Love” in 8th edition of the ScripTeast. It was supervised by Eran Kolirin and Neasa Hardiman as Creative Advisors and Christian Routh as Head of Studies.

The shooting took place from July 2nd – August 12th, 2015 in the Croatian locations of Šibenik, Drniš and Zagreb. Stjepan Perić, Dražen Kühn and Ecija Ojdanić play the main roles.

Ministry of Love is a dramatic comedy inspired by the Croatian Family Law and, specifically, the post-war situation. If the law abolishes distinctions between marital and non-marital union, what will happen to the pension of Croatian soldiers’ widows if they now live in non-marital unions with new partners? In order to hunt down the love offenders, the government sends the perfectly wrong man, an unemployed 40-year old biologist who has lots of other problems himself, such as his lost self-esteem and his own dysfunctional marriage.

The film is supported by Eurimages, Czech State Cinema Fund, Croatian Audiovisual Fund and co-produced by HRT (Croatian Radio-TV).

Release of the film is planned at the beginning of 2016.
