Faraway is a Netflix original multilingual rom-com about a grief-stricken
protagonist, Zeynep, who seeks solace on a
Croatian island after receiving no support from her family following her
mother's death.
Upon arriving, she discovers that the house she inherited is already occupied
by Josip, the previous owner, and sparks fly between them despite their clashing
ideals.
The film focuses mainly on the slow-burning romance between Zeynep and Josip,
which is filled with cutting banter and harsh scoldings that eventually lead to
their love for each other.
Although the reappearance of Zeynep's family drama causes the plot to become
somewhat uneven, the film's heartwarming moments and the satisfaction of
Zeynep's self-discovery make for an enjoyable rom-com. |
