During a brief trip to Dubrovnik, Croatia in mid 2024 October, a chance encounter with a workshop turning discarded scrap into miniature boats changed my plans entirely. Captivated by the magic of their craft, I stayed behind the lens to document the man behind the workshop, Igor Hajdarhodžić. The Land of Sailors is an intimate film that peels back the layers of an extraordinary craftsmen @trabakul_workshop and @vjekoslavg , revealing a heartwarming philosophy on life and proving how beautifully art can connect two strangers from completely different parts of the world.
