Murders on Obonjan — Synopsis The Adriatic Archipelago of Secrets Obonjan, a small private island in the heart of the Adriatic blue, usually promises zen — but this time it promises scandal. An exclusive delegation of journalists and influencers from Slovenia, Croatia, and Serbia arrives for a weekend getaway to promote the island’s “ideal escape from the world.” They all arrive on the same bus — an awkward mix of rivalries, hidden alliances, and old grudges, especially among the vain Slovenian contingent convinced they are the stars of the show. Upon arrival, the entire elite gathers in the island’s central “living room” — a minimalist open-air space filled with designer couches — where the hosts present their vision of luxury and serenity. But even at the press conference, beneath polite smiles, schemes are already taking shape. A Night that Falls into Darkness In the evening they attend a glamorous dinner on the pier, under a canopy of stars with a view of the calm sea. Between glasses of sparkling wine and over-the-top compliments — as if straight out of the most dramatic episode of Gossip Girl — accusations begin to surface: old jealousies, buried scandals, and whispered secrets, especially after one Slovenian celebrity goes a bit too far. Then darkness falls. Literally and figuratively. As the guests retreat to their mobile villas after dinner, the killings begin. The first murder is discovered quickly, and more follow. Each new victim is directly connected to the circle of influencers, triggering panic and mutual accusations. Who’s next? Who knew too much? Obonjan’s isolation, once a luxury, becomes a deadly trap. The Killer and the Missing Driver When the lights return, the night has left behind too many bodies and too many suspicious faces. Everyone — from competitive journalists to the island’s owners — is under scrutiny. The only person who could have served as a link to the outside world was also present at the dinner: the bus driver who brought the entire group to the island. But he has suddenly disappeared. According to a waiter, he “went to the restroom and never came back.” And that is the clue no one notices... “Obonjan was meant to bring people together, but in the end, the stars discovered only their darkest secrets. And the only one who knew every road and every passenger sat quietly behind the wheel.”
