Hasanaginica

About

Hasanaginica (English: Hassan-Aga's Wife) is a 1967 Yugoslav feature film. It was written and directed by Mića Popović based on the motifs of a Bosnian folk ballad of the same name. Zeina is left at home with two children and an elderly servant after her husband, Hasanaga, leaves on military duty. Zeina's brother Murat comes to visit, complaining that the water has washed away his land and asking his sister for money to buy new land from the Kadia of Imot. Zeina is impatiently waiting for Hasanaga. She refuses to go to him when summoned, because of a warning dream. On his return, he throws her out of his house. Zeina is banished and forever separated from her children.
