Meet Rosa. Not Ruza, please — Rosa.

Like the flower she once was, before a wild Balkan oak named Vane swept her off her feet — and into a lifetime of sighs, eye-rolls, and damage control.

She doesn’t ask anymore why she’s cleaning the same mess every single day. Romeo shows up. Chaos follows. The wall still has a hole in it.

But Rosa keeps scrubbing. Not because it helps — but because the neighbors are watching.

And if she can’t fix her family, at least she can keep the floors spotless.

From Romeo — an animated short full of love, drama, and one woman’s never-ending chore list.

Meet Vane — the Balkan dad with zero chill and unlimited opinions.

He drinks rakija like it’s water, trusts no one under 60, and definitely didn’t ask for an Italian son-in-law. His eyebrows do most of the talking, and his temper could knock over a Vespa at 20 meters.

But deep down? He might have a soft spot. Just don’t tell him we said that.

From Romeo — an animated short where love, chaos, and opera collide.

16/05/2025

One Balkan father. One Italian son-in-law. One scooter. Endless drama.

From the wild imagination of Crater Studio ’s art director Zoran Cvetkovic comes a short animated film set in a chaotic 1970s Italian village — where love, opera, and exhaust fumes fill the air.

Made in , this animated tale follows Romeo, a singing scooter menace whose heartfelt serenade stirs the whole neighborhood… and unknowingly alters the course of history.

Animation meets absurdity. Love meets high-octane. Balkan family meets Italian passion.

Watch the teaser and get ready for a ride you didn’t see coming.
