Vera is inspired by the true story of Vera Pešić (1919–1944), who was active during WW2 and some called her "the Serbian Mata Hari." The script penned by Nedeljko Kovačić and Kristina Đuković follows her not only in the jaws of the war spy network, but also of the patriarchal society in the Balkans, full of powerful, arrogant men. Vera is first and foremost a story about a woman in the male's world, and therefore it is relevant for the modern age.
