Sinopsis
“Mate” is a documentary film about an artist Mate Lasić from the village of Konjsko, which is located in the hinterland of Split, Croatia. He is a self-taught painter whose interests in art exceed those of the so-called “weekend painter”. He is completely immersed in the world of art, constantly searching for stories and books with the theme of art. Moreover, all this in a small Dalmatian house where he lives and works without today’s technology.
In Mate’s narration we find out a moment in his life when something changed in him. It was a moment when he completely by chance and unplanned saw a film about the Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn. By his own choice, Mate deprived himself of “help” internet and so-called fast communication and started reading about art, studying, painting.
Although he has no other income he refuses to sell his works. His main passion is painting portraits with live models and in the film we follow Mate’s creation process. He introduces us to his world of creativity and his personal way of thinking about art and life around it, we learn more about his current view of Rembrandt, who had so much impact on this part of his life. He talks completely openly about his relationship with those closest to him and challenges that emerge from his unconventional way of life in such small and rural area like Dalmatian Zagora.
Mate is very self-critical of his art and always in eternal search for the perfect work, sometimes with somewhat radical attitudes towards today’s art and fast lifestyle. One can see a bohemian in him, or even mythological figure of an artist who creates out of necessity, not for financial reasons.
After one stormy evening, driven by his inner struggle and the pursuit of the “perfect image”, he destroys the painting he had been working on, along with an entire studio and returns everything to the beginning.
