No, Izidor. Now, from a spiritual point of view, you are someone with special needs. You accept what kind of values and non-values. Your soul withers. You are very far from the picture that dear God imagined for you. Die. You are going to the kingdom of heaven. Where will your soul go after all these earthly successes? You only understand the logic of this world, and I look a little further. I gave birth to you not only for this world but for eternity.
Izidor Bistrović was born in Čakovec, Croatia in 2003. A third-year BA student of Film and TV Directing in Zagreb. At the Academy he directed several films, including the short documentary Thank you, Mother screened at several national and regional festivals.
