Find out what Zagorka could have heard while sneaking through the city streets or by carefully listening to the murmur of café guests, which stories about her have spread from the café’s scenography into the corpus of urban stories, meet the characters she places in Zagreb’s cafés that serve as mirrors of society, and discover a new page in the history of Zagreb’s cafés, written by a woman.

Excellently told, presented with lots of detail. I definitely recommend hanging out, listening to and walking with the great Đurđica. 10 stars! Thank you. This city needs fairies, ladies and storytellers like this. I wish you all the best in the future.
