Smrt djevojčice sa žigicama / The Death of the Little Match Girl

Synopsis

Otok Rab, kasna jesen 1992. godine. Patolog Fero, svježe rastavljen 40-godišnjak, dolazi u otočki gradić u kojem je s ocem udovcem proveo veći dio svog djetinjstva, kako bi prisustvovao sprovodu kćeri svog prijatelja Globusa, male Mirne. Na otoku se, izvan sezone, događaju čudne stvari: priča se o pojavljivanju ogromnog guštera, mjesni redikul Ranko optužuje fratre da su malu Mirnu prepilili napola, a vrhunac je ubistvo ‘Djevojčice sa žigicama’ – rumunjske transseksualke Marillene koja se bavila prostitucijom i svoje partnere zarazila gonorejom. Istragom ubojstva bavi se Ferin dobar prijatelj, šef otočke policije Mungos, koji Feru sve više uvlači u istragu.

The island of Rab, early summer, 1992. Fero, a recently divorced, forty-year old pathologist, returns to the small island town where he spent most of his childhood living with his widowed father. He is here for the funeral of a little girl called Mirna, the daughter of his friend, Globus. As it happens, weird stuff happens on this island during the off-season: apparently, there’s a huge lizard running about; Ranko, the village idiot, is accusing the monks of sawing little Mirna in half; and, to top it all off, there’s the murder of Marillena a.k.a. “the matchstick girl” – a Romanian trans woman, and a prostitute known as the culprit for gonorrhoea cases all around the island. In charge of the investigation is Fero’s friend Mungos, the island’s chief of police, who draws Fero more and more into the investigation.
