Aleksa Santic is one of the most famous Serbian poets. He had very unstable love life, he fell in love with beautiful but unreachable women. Emina and Anka were his two greatest loves.
Anka Tomlinovic (daughter of photographer Stjepan Tomlinovic) was the greatest love of the poet Aleksa Santic. He dedicated the largest number of love songs to her. Anka, a woman whom Aleksa loved and whom he could not marry because of his mother's conflicting views and disagreements and therefore asked Anka for forgiveness. She married an elderly man from Zagreb and left Mostar forever. On that day, the wedding procession passed by Santic's house in Brankovac, and he watched it from the window with teary eyes. It was an unhappy and unfulfilled love.
Here is a part of the movie where love between Ankaand Aleksa is shown.
Interesting and I never heard of them. I always love a happy ending but this one, unfortunately, did not end like one.
