Since 2024, on central squares in many towns and cities across Croatia, groups of primarily elderly and middle-aged men calling themselves 'The Knights of the Immaculate Heart of Mary', gather together in communal prayer and advocating for Christian values, the importance of the patriarchy and enforcing limitations of women's rights, treating these squares as their own personal battlefield, upon which women have no place. Through the documentations of the reactions of law enforcement officials, ordinary passerbys and the 'Knights' themselves, as well as the defiant pieces of multimedia artist Arijana Lekić, Holy Defiance creates a vivid, lively, energetic and varied portrait of women's rights in post-war Croatia.

The Beauty of the Adriatic was created as a promotional tourist film, but through its unusual and even bizarre formal devices it overcomes the promotional function. The narrator of the film is constantly communicating with the viewer, exclaims and inserts jokes, and we also see him in the film as a guide entertaining us with various gestures and movements. In the film there are also interspersed humorous animated scenes, an interview with Hamlet, poetic sequences and stylized scenes such as one where the camera is "looking for" the lost guide.
