Octopus Heart is a powerful, heart-wrenching documentary that follows the unbreakable spirit of Anastazija, whose life, shaped by tremendous loss and hardship in Serbia (former Yugoslavia), reveals the deep connection between emotional trauma and Takotsubo Syndrome – a condition often known as "Broken Heart Syndrome."

Crafted by Goran Zivanovic and GothicZen® Studios, this experimental documentary challenges the norm with an intensely personal storytelling approach, showing how our internal battles with grief, adversity, and heartbreak can manifest into physical illness. Set against the backdrop of Serbian landscapes, Octopus Heart intertwines the cultural legacy of endurance with the universal theme of healing.

This journey is a reminder of the strength within vulnerability and the courage needed to face both physical and emotional scars. Through raw interviews, stirring imagery, and a relentless commitment to authenticity, Octopus Heart paves a path to resilience, hope, and an enduring will to survive.
