The Constitution, set in Zagreb, Croatia, tells the story of four very different people living in the same apartment building but avoiding each other because of differences in their beliefs, how they live their lives, and where they come from. Under normal circumstances they would probably never exchange a word, but misfortune ultimately pushes them towards each other. Their lives entangle in ways that profoundly challenge deep-held beliefs and prejudices surrounding material status, sexual orientation, nationality, and religion. Slowly, sometimes painfully, they begin to open up to each other and to recognize each other’s essential humanity.
