'The Three Men of Melita ganjer' is a 1998 award-winning Croatian film directed by Snjeana Tribuson, who also wrote the screenplay for the film.

Synopsis



The film has been described as a "lighthearted comedy" and centers on Melita ganjer (Mirjana Rogina), a 30-something single woman who works as a vendor in a small cake shop in Zagreb. Melita is infatuated with Juan (Filip ovagovi), a character in a popular Spanish telenovela aired on local TV, and at the same time tries to get Janko (Goran Navojec), the cake delivery man, to notice her. Her affection for Janko goes unnoticed and Melita turns to Jura (Ivo Gregurevi), a police officer and colleague of her roommate Eva (Sanja Vejnovi). However, Melita soon finds Jura's interest in her superficial and, upon hearing that Juan would come to Zagreb to play an UNPROFOR soldier in a locally produced film dealing with the Croatian War of Independence, Melita succeeds in meeting him, but is immediately disappointed as the Spanish actor is nothing like his character in the telenovela. In the end, Melita learns that Janko likes her and ends up with him.
